Another doctor from Sierra Leone who has tested positive for Ebola will be evacuated for medical treatment, an official said Thursday, making her the first citizen of a hard-hit country to be treated abroad. Dr. Olivette Buck is the fourth Sierra Leonean doctor to contract the disease — and the three others all have died. Arrangements are being made to send her to another country for better treatment, said Health Ministry spokesman Sidie Yahya Tunis without specifying further. So far, only foreign health and aid workers have been evacuated abroad for treatment from Sierra Leone and Liberia. http://apne.ws/1lYRrUA http://bit.ly/1fJ5yqZ
