Fourth Sierra Leonean doctor dies from Ebola
2014-09-15
[ARABNEWS] A fourth Sierra Leonean doctor, a woman, died Sunday after contracting the dreaded Ebola virus, the country's chief medical officer said.

Doctor Olive Buck, who was in charge of Lumley Government Hospital in the capital's west end, tested positive for Ebola on Tuesday and was admitted to the Connaught Hospital in central Freetown.

"It's another sad loss for the profession," Sierra Leone's chief medical officer Brima Kargbo said by telephone. "The ministry of health is in deep grief to miss another devoted Ebola fighter." Medical sources said arrangements had been at an advanced stage to fly the ailing doctor, who was in her early sixties, out of the country for further treatment.

#1  President Barack Obama announced Sunday that he will be sending members of the U.S. military to West Africa to help in the deadliest Ebola outbreak in history, which has claimed over 2,100 lives. Here.

This is a complete misuse/abuse of our military. All we need is an ebola epidemic rampaging through our military. Our military should be used for defense/war fighting and little else. The UN, WHO, CDC, Doctors Without Borders, etc. should be addressing this problem.
