Fighting Ebola, and the Mud (New York Times/Koha Ditore)
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.
