Liberia on Thursday released the last confirmed Ebola patient in the country, raising hopes that it was moving towards the end of the epidemic.
"Liberia has clearly passed 12 days without any new confirmed Ebola case," Assistant Health Minister Tolbert Nyenswah said before the patient was released from a Chinese-run Ebola treatment unit in the Paynesville suburb of Monrovia.
"We will be waiting for the remaining 30 days to be announced by the World Health Organization as an Ebola-free nation," the newspaper Liberian Observer quoted him as saying.
Ebola has killed nearly 10,000 people, the vast majority of them in Liberia, Guinea and Sierra Leone.
