In a rare moment of optimism amid an outbreak, five healthcare workers who contracted Ebola caused by the Bundibugyo strain have recovered and been discharged from the hospital in the Democratic Republic of Congo.
The World Health Organisation (WHO) confirmed on Sunday that the four nurses had left a treatment centre in Bunia after recovering from the disease. Their discharge came just days after a laboratory worker also recovered, bringing the total number of recoveries linked to the outbreak to five.
