medical doctors. His management is being handled by Dr. James Russell,
Dr. Col. Foday Sahr and other doctors determined to help him beat the
evil virus.
"Dr.

Connaught and discussed his transfer to Kerry Town Ebola Treatment
Centre. Salia vehemently refused transfer to Kerry Town but insisted to
be transferred to Hastings Treatment Centre" the update posted worldwide
