Woman forcibly removed from hospital in
Freetown by family after testing positive for one
of world’s deadliest disease
Officials in Sierra Leone have appealed for help
to trace the first known resident in the capital
with Ebola, whose family forcibly removed her
from a Freetown hospital after she tested
positive for the deadly virus.
Radio stations in Freetown, a city of about 1
million people, broadcast the appeal on Friday
to locate a woman who tested positive for the
disease, which has killed 660 people across
Guinea, Liberia and Sierra Leone since an
outbreak was first identified in February.
“Saudatu Koroma of 25 Old Railway Line, Brima
Lane, Wellington,” the announcement said. “She
is a positive case and her being out there is a
risk to all. We need the public to help us locate
her.”
