Dr Scara at the Press Conference

Dr. Rick Sacra becomes the third doctor from the United States to be cleared and discharged from hospital after receiving treatments.

At a news conference held today Thursday, Dr. Sacra said he was cleared of the Ebola virus by the federal Centres from Disease Control and left the isolation unit at the Nebraska Medical Centre today.

“I feel great, except that I am extremely weak,” Sacra said

“I never felt like I was not going to make it. The care was so excellent, so speedy and so prompt,” said the 51 year old doctor from Worcester, Massachusetts, who contracted Ebola while delivering babies at a hospital in Liberia with the North Carolina-based charity SIM and arrived in Omaha on September 5.

                               

In a related development, the World Health Organization, WHO, has said the Ebola Virus Disease has so far killed over 2,900 people in West Africa.
