Dr Kent Bratley became Ebola free during his treatment at Emory Hospital as well |
The patient, the third with Ebola virus disease to be taken to Emory, on Sunday became the third to be released. Emory said the man asked to remain anonymous and "will make a statement at a later date." CNN has noted that the man arrived at Emory at about the same time as a World Health Organization doctor was evacuated from Sierra Leone.
The hospital did not disclose where the patient went.
His departure leaves Emory's Serious Communicable Disease Unit at Emory with one Ebola patient -- a nurse from Dallas who was flown to Atlanta last week from Texas Health Presbyterian Hospital. The nurse, Amber Vinson, was one of two health care workers at the Dallas hospital who were infected with Ebola after treating the so-called "index patient" Thomas Eric Duncan.
I once worked as a relief Pharmacist in that hospital. A source in there told me that it's that same doctor transported out of Sierra Leone who stayed anonymous
