The Hague - A Nigerian UN peacekeeper
infected with Ebola in Liberia arrived Saturday
for treatment in The Netherlands, Dutch
authorities said.
The first Ebola patient to be treated in The
Netherlands was flown to the country in a
specially equipped plane and was to be taken
straight to the university hospital in Utrecht, in
the centre of the country.
"After Germany, France and Switzerland , it is
The Netherlands' turn to make a contribution
by welcoming an employee of an international
organisation," the Dutch health and
development ministers said in a letter to
parliament.
The patient had been enlisted in the fight
against Ebola, which has killed more than
6,000 people and infected around 17,000,
almost all in Guinea, Liberia and Sierra Leone.
