What changed
A Uganda-born woman evacuated from Nigeria to Switzerland after Ebola infection has been discharged after recovering. She and her husband, a Swiss diplomat, were flown out of Nigeria on 26 October.
Why it matters
The discharge marks a concrete outcome in a cross-border medical emergency: treatment in Switzerland has ended with her recovery. It also shows how an Ebola case can quickly become an international health and diplomatic matter, linking Nigeria, Switzerland and the couple’s personal circumstances. Further monitoring, if any, has not been specified.
