France is treating a UN employee who contracted Ebola while working with those infected in Sierra Leone, the health ministry said on Sunday. The victim is in an isolation unit under high security at an army training hospital in Saint-Mande.
"This person, who worked in Sierra Leone in the fight against Ebola, has undergone a secure medical evacuation by specialised aircraft," the French health ministry said in a statement.
A French nurse, who worked for Doctors Without Borders (MSF) in Liberia, was treated for Ebola at the same hospital in September and subsequently recovered.
