U.S. doctor Peter Stafford has been released from Charité hospital in Berlin after recovering from Ebola. He contracted the virus while on a humanitarian mission in the Congo with the missionary group Serge.
Stafford was evacuated to Germany on May 20 for treatment. The hospital provided antiviral therapy and supportive medical care, improving his condition throughout his stay.
By May 30, Stafford’s daily tests showed no presence of the virus, and he met the criteria for releasing him from isolation. His wife, Rebekah, and their four children were quarantined but did not develop symptoms.
The Bundibugyo strain of Ebola causing the outbreak in Congo and Uganda is less common than other strains and lacks vaccines or treatments. Health officials are expressing concern about the outbreak’s size and impact.
