Doctor Dies From Ebola In Sierra Leone

Another doctor in Sierra Leone has died of Ebola — the fifth local doctor in the West African nation to die of the disease, authorities said Monday.

Dr. Godfrey George, medical superintendent of Kambia Government Hospital in northern Sierra Leone, died overnight in Freetown, authorities announced. It’s yet another example of how vulnerable health care professionals are to the virus, which is most easily transmitted when people are caring for very ill patients.
