[ARABNEWS] A surgeon from Sierra Leone being treated for Ebola in a Nebraska hospital on Saturday was critically ill after being airlifted back from Africa, medical officials said.
Dr. Martin Salia, 44, a permanent US resident, caught the disease while working as a surgeon in a Freetown hospital, according to his family.
Doctors at the Nebraska hospital said his condition was extremely critical. He had been stable enough to take a flight from West Africa to Omaha but was too sick to walk off the plane, medical officials said. |
