Two US aid workers beat Ebola thanks to an experimental drug, giving renewed hope in the fight to contain the outbreak behind more than 1,400 deaths in Africa.
The recovery of Dr Kent Brantly and Nancy Writebol was announced by the missionary group SIM USA, which jointly ran the project in Liberia where they had been working to tackle the Ebola outbreak before catching the disease themselves.
Dr Bradley told reporters: “I am forever thankful to God for sparing my life”.
He and Ms Writebol returned to the US on 5 August and doctors say they will make a full recovery.
Both were treated with ZMapp, a drug that has only been used on a handful of patients in the current West African outbreak.
