Sierra Leone doctor tests positive for Ebola


Another doctor has tested positive for Ebola according to authorities in Sierra Leone.
The sick physician has been identified as Dr. Godfrey George, medical superintendent of Kambia Government Hospital in northern Sierra Leone. He was driven to the capital, Freetown, after reporting he wasn't feeling well.

Government Chief Medical Officer Dr. Brima Kargbo confirmed on Sunday that a fifth doctor in Sierra Leone had tested positive. The other four all have died from the virus that has killed nearly 5,000 across West Africa.
Meanwhile, early U.N employee who contacted Ebola while in Sierra Leone is been treated  in France . France previously had taken in a French medic with Doctors without Borders in September who had Ebola. She later recovered from the infection.
I would suggest the WHO should please sponsor this doctors treatment oversea rather than leaving him dead in Sierra Leone.
