LONDON: A British nurse who contracted Ebola while working as a volunteer in Sierra Leone said she was “happy to be alive” as she was discharged from hospital on Saturday having made a full recovery.

Scottish nurse Pauline Cafferkey was diagnosed in Glasgow on December 29 before being transferred to Britain’s only isolation ward for Ebola patients at London’s Royal Free Hospital.

While there, her condition became critical but she later showed signs of improvement and was taken off the danger list on January 12.
