UK nurse fight against the ebola

the uk nurse is going to cured the ebola a deadful disease A British military nurse is being flown back to the UK from Sierra Leone after suffering a "needle stick injury" whilst treating an Ebola victim.

The unnamed nurse is "likely" to have been exposed to the deadly virus but has not yet displayed any symptoms and will be closely monitored.

Public Health England (PHE) confirmed that the health care worker had been transported back to England and taken to the Royal Free Hospital in London for assessment.

It said the individual was working in a "front line care setting" when the incident happened.

They arrived back in the UK on an RAF flight on Saturday and will be monitored for the remainder of their 21 incubation period, in line with standard procedures for returning health care workers.

Professor Paul Cosford, PHE’s director for health protection and medical director, said: “Our thoughts are with this person, who has been courageous in helping those affected in West Africa, and in preventing the wider spread of Ebola.
A Royal Free spokesman confirmed that the patient had been admitted for assessment.
It is thought that the medic would have been working at the Kerry Town treatment centre and that the injury happened within the last 48 hours.
This is the period when someone who has had a known exposure to Ebola has a window of opportunity to be safely transported to the UK as they are not yet contagious.
It is believed the military transport arrived at RAF Brize Norton in Oxfordshire in the early hours of this morning.
The Kerry Town complex includes an 80-bed treatment centre to be managed by Save the Children and a 12-bed centre staffed by British Army medics specifically for health care workers and international staff responding to the Ebola crisis.
Needle-stick injuries involve a piercing of the skin, typically by a needle point but also by other sharp instruments or objects, and are a serious occupational hazard for doctors and healthcare workers.
The suspected case follows the recovery of Pauline Cafferkey, 39, the Scottish nurse who almost died after contracting Ebola while working in Sierra Leone.
Doctors announced last week that Miss Cafferkey was now free of the virus after spending more than three weeks at the Royal Free, where she was at times critically ill.
Miss Cafferkey said she was “happy to be alive” and thanked medical staff whom she said had saved her life.
She was diagnosed with Ebola after returning to Glasgow and was initially admitted to the city’s Gartnavel Hospital on December 29, before being transferred to the Royal Free the following day.
Miss Cafferkey, from Cambuslang in South Lanarkshire, had worked as a volunteer with Save The Children at the Ebola Treatment Centre in Kerry Town before returning to the UK.
William Pooley, 29, who contracted Ebola while volunteering in West Africa, has returned to Sierra Leone to resume his work after recovering from the virus.
The nurse, from Eyke in Suffolk, was flown back to the UK by the RAF on August 24 and was taken to the RFH.
