The World Health Organization has asked France to take in an Ebola patient who worked for the UN.
On 2 November, Marisol Touraine, France’s minister for social affairs and health, agreed to take in the unnamed Ebola patient who had been working for the UN in Sierra Leone.
The entire evacuation from Freetown—from take-off to the isolation room at the Instruction des Armées Bégin hospital in Saint-Mandé near Paris—was securely carried out, according to the minister, who said that France remained committed to fighting the Ebola epidemic.
