Suffolk Ebola survivor praised as example of courage
William Pooley, the nurse from Suffolk who has been cured of Ebola, is an example of the "courage" and resilience needed to tackle the Ebola crisis according to Foreign Secretary Philip Hammond.
He was speaking at a press conference during an international summit in central London where countries pledged their support to efforts to try to tackle the deadly Ebola virus in Sierra Leone.
Mr Pooley, 29, is just back from a life-saving mission to the United States where he gave blood to try to help a victim of the virus.
Mr Pooley became the first Briton to contract the virus after working as a volunteer nurse in Sierra Leone, which is one of the worst-hit countries of the current outbreak.
He was flown back to Britain on August 24 and recovered after being treated at an isolation unit at London's Royal Free Hospital.
Experts have warned that the outbreak in West Africa has developed at an unprecedented scale. The UK Government has already promised a further £20 million aid to pay for vital medical supplies.
