A surgeon working in Sierra Leone who was diagnosed with Ebola will be flown to the United States on Saturday to be treated at a Nebraska hospital, according to Sierra Leone and US officials.
Dr. Martin Salia, 44, a citizen of Sierra Leone, will be treated at the Nebraska Medical Center in Omaha, Dr. Brima Kargbo, Sierra Leone’s chief medical officer, told the Associated Press.
Salia, who reportedly lives in Maryland as a legal permanent US resident, will pay for the medical evacuation, the US Embassy in Freetown said.
He will be the third Ebola patient at the Omaha hospital and the 10th Ebola patient to be treated in the US. The last patient, Dr. Craig Spencer, was released Tuesday from Bellevue Hospital after being declared Ebola-free.
