The top doctor treating patients infected with the Ebola virus in Sierra Leone has died from the disease, officials have confirmed.
Dr Sheik Umar Khan had been hospitalised in quarantine since he contracted the virus last week. The virologist was credited with treating more than 100 patients at the hospital in Kenema - one of the world’s leading Ebola diagnosis facilities.
Before his diagnosis, Dr Khan told reporters: “I am afraid for my life, I must say, because I cherish my life.”
