Uganda Discharges Last Eight Patients Who Recovered From Ebola

The AP (2/18, Muhumuza) says, “Uganda discharged on Tuesday the last eight patients who recovered from Ebola, health authorities reported, and there were no other positive cases in the outbreak declared last month.” The WHO “described the recoveries as a milestone that ‘reflects the power of Uganda’s quick and coordinated response.’” The majority of the patients with Ebola “were treated at the main referral facility in the Ugandan capital, Kampala.” The only “Ebola victim was a male nurse who died the day before the outbreak was declared in Kampala on Jan. 30.”
