Koha Ditore re-runs an opinion piece originally published in New York Times by Karin Huster, a nurse with the non-profit organization Last Mile Health. On a Monday evening last month in Liberia, at Grand Gedeh County’s main hospital, two nurses knocked on a patient’s door. The patient was being treated for malaria and typhoid, but had also recently tested positive for Ebola — though he didn’t know it yet. I was doing training on Ebola at the hospital, and had seen him from a distance just that morning.

Kosovo’s National Institute for Public Health confirmed today that a person who returned from the Hajj pilgrimage and who was believed to be infected with Ebola does not have symptoms of the virus. Naser Ramadani, Director of the National Public Health Institute told Radio Kosova that the person is under full medical observation. “I contacted the patient today and he has no eventual symptoms of the Ebola virus,” Ramadani said.
