A BRADFORD professor has spoken of his sadness following the first ebola death at the new hospital he is volunteering at in Sierra Leone.
Professor John Wright travelled to West Africa last month and is heading up a team of NHS volunteers.
A new hospital to treat ebola patients opened on Friday and admitted its first three patients – two women and a man.
But the man, Ibrahim, died over the weekend.
“On the afternoon ward round I find him unresponsive. It doesn’t take long to conclude that he is dead. Our first ebola fatality,” Professor Wright said on his blog.
