Beatrice Yordoldo left the Chinese-built Ebola treatment unit (ETU) in the Paynesville suburb of the capital Monrovia to cheers from healthcare workers, government officials and aid workers.
“Today I am very grateful to the almighty God and the Chinese ETU, and all of the Liberian nurses that are working with them. I did not know I could make it,” said Yordoldo, who was admitted two weeks ago.
Liberia “reported no new confirmed cases” during the week to March 1, the World Health Organization (WHO) said in a report late Wednesday.
“This is the last confirmed Ebola case throughout the country,” deputy health minister Tolbert Nyenswah told reporters as Yordoldo was given an emotional send-off.
“We have gone for 13 days now without a new case. This is a great day for Liberia.”
