New, Larger Ebola Center Opens in Liberia
 [NY Times] Doctors Without Borders began accepting patients on Sunday at what is intended to be the largest-ever Ebola treatment center, near Monrovia, Liberia's capital. The center is near two previous units, which have been filled beyond their intended capacity as the number of suspected Ebola patients in the capital grew greatly in recent days.The new unit, on the grounds of the Eternal Love Winning Africa mission hospital in Paynesville City, is designed to hold 120 patients and can be expanded to accommodate more than 300. There is an urgent need for it. On Sunday, patients who might be coming down with Ebola waited outdoors on the hospital grounds as a storm battered the city with rain. Nine patients were admitted to the new unit. Posted by: Fred 2014-08-18 |
