A 51-year-old doctor became the third U.S. missionary infected with Ebola as the death toll from the disease in West Africa exceeded all previous outbreaks combined.
The doctor, Rick Sacra, was delivering babies in Monrovia, Liberia’s capital, and had traveled between the U.S. and West Africa, the Christian missionary group SIM USA said yesterday. Sacra was establishing a residency program for family medicine at SIM’s hospital in Liberia, the Charlotte, North Carolina-based group said in a statement.
