An American doctor who contracted Ebola treating victims of the deadly virus in Liberia has recovered and will be discharged on Thursday by the Atlanta hospital that treated him with an experimental drug, his charity said.
Dr. Kent Brantly of Texas was given ZMapp, a drug used on a handful of patients in the West African outbreak and produced by U.S.-based Mapp Biopharmaceutical.
Brantly, 33, is expected to speak at a news conference on Thursday at Emory University Hospital, where he and U.S. missionary Nancy Writebol have been treated since being evacuated from Liberia earlier this month.
The hospital said it would discuss the discharge of both patients.
