American Ebola patient discharged from Berlin hospital after successful treatment
An American doctor, Peter Stafford, who contracted Bundibugyo Ebola in the Democratic Republic of the Congo while working for a missionary group, has been discharged from Berlin’s Charité hospital after treatment doctors called a significant therapeutic success. His wife and four children were quarantined in Berlin but did not contract the virus and were released after 21 days; it remains unclear who will cover medical costs or whether the family will return to Congo.
