CONAKRY, Guinea (AP) — Doctors Without Borders is again caring for Ebola patients at a Guinean health center it fled when an angry crowd attacked last week.
Spokesman Sam Taylor said Thursday the organization was back at work in Macenta, where a mob accused aid workers of starting the outbreak. Guinea has never before had a case of Ebola.
There is no cure or vaccine for the disease, which is usually fatal. More than 110 deaths have been linked to the current outbreak in West Africa. But Doctors Without Borders said a few patients have recovered and were discharged this week.
