Ebola battle breakthrough

TWO of the first 10 people to receive an experimental treatment for the Ebola virus in the latest outbreak in the Congo have recovered.

The head of the World Health Organisation congratulated Congo’s government for making several experimental treatments available in this Ebola outbreak, calling it “a global first, and a ray of hope for people with the disease”.

The two people received the mAb114 treatment isolated from a survivor of an Ebola outbreak in 1995.
