Gallery: Ebola in Guinea - Sia Bintou's story

Via MSF Guinea, a May 20 report: Gallery: Ebola in Guinea - Sia Bintou's story. Excerpt:

In Gueckedou treatment centre, each time a patient is discharged, staff and patients are extremely happy. Sia Bintou spent more than 10 days in the centre. The teams often thought that she wouldn’t make it, but Bintou ended up beating the disease.
