One of Sierra Leone's top doctors died from
Ebola hours after the arrival in the country
of an experimental drug that could have
been used to save him.
Victor Willoughby, who tested positive for
the disease only on Saturday, is the 11th
doctor in the country in the current
outbreak.
His death has been described as "a big loss
to the medical profession".
Ebola has killed more than 7,300 people this
year in West Africa, World Health
Organization figures show.
There have been more than 2,470 deaths in
Sierra Leone.
Healthcare workers are among those most
at risk of catching Ebola because it is spread
by bodily fluids.
Respected
Dr Willoughby, 67, died on Thursday, hours
after the arrival of the experimental drug
ZMab in Sierra Leone, officials said.
ZMapp, which was developed in Canada, has
been credited with helping several patients
recover, including two US doctors.
BBC Africa deputy editor Josephine Hazeley
says Dr Willoughby was one of Sierra
Leone's best known and most respected
doctors.
Meanwhile the country's chief medical
officer, Brima Kargbo, said the death was "a
big loss to the medical profession" in Sierra
Leone.
"We all looked up to Dr Willoughby and
would consult him on many issues relating
to our medical profession," he told the
Associated Press news agency.
Earlier this week officials in Sierra Leone
began house-to-house searches in the
capital Freetown to find hidden cases of
Ebola.
President Ernest Bai Koroma said Sunday
trading would be banned and travel
between districts restricted in a bid to stop
the spread of the disease.
The country has also banned public
celebrations over Christmas and the New
Year.

Can u imagine what the pastor who
wedded this couple might have gone
through with the sight of this "WEAPON OF
MASS DESTRUCTION" will you allow your wife to be/wife rock this wedding gown to the alter, what do you guys think? Because If na me, hmm not in a million years, over to you guys.

If not for that innocent kid i'd say " fuucck 'em"...

gud 4 u, u jst said it

“Even though I have said it time and time
again that the president should control his
wife but there is something significant
about Mr. President.
He is the first president without any ties to
the military mafia. All his children are in
schools here in Nigeria. You cannot come
across a skyscraper in any corner of
Nigeria and people will tell you it belongs
to him; even a seven storey building.
I strongly believe that GEJ is a phenomenal
change from before and if we cannot find
a better, young alternative, then we must
remain with him until we can groom
someone better.
This is no time to go back to the military
mafia and go back to our vomit”
