Liberia: The Boy Who Coloured His Way to Recovery

press release

Dr Daniel Lucey describes the day that talented 10-year-old Momodu was discharged from MSF's treatment centre in Monrovia, and the leaving present given to him by admiring staff.

Today, Momodu is going home. Ten-year-old Momodu has been here for three weeks, which is a long time in an Ebola treatment centre. Yesterday afternoon we got his latest test results, and at last they were negative. He was sitting in the tent closest to our office, so we could tell him the results straight away. He was overjoyed. He had a huge smile on his face, and was jumping up and down and waving his arms around. He was so happy to have survived Ebola.
