Liberia’s Ebola patient dies

Monrovia — A Liberian woman who was the country’s sole remaining known Ebola patient died on Friday at a treatment centre in the capital, said Francis Ketteh, acting head of the country’s Ebola response team. The case was Liberia’s first in weeks and it set back efforts to halt a virus that has killed more than 10 000 people in Liberia, Guinea and Sierra Leone.
