A fourth doctor, Dr Olivet Buck has died of Ebola in Sierra
Leone after a failed bid to transfer her abroad for treatment. The doctor
passed away last night after the World Health Organization, WHO said it couldn’t
help to move her to Germany.
Sierra Leone had requested funds from the organisation to
transfer her for treatment saying it could not afford to lose another doctor.
However, Chief Medical Officer Dr Brima Kargbo confirmed today
September 14 that the Sierra Leone national had died on Saturday night. WHO
had said it could not meet the request but instead would work to give Dr Buck
'the best care possible' in Sierra Leone, including access to experimental
drugs.
