 The article reports on the opening of a new Ebola clinic in Liberia, which has been set up to treat patients infected with the virus. The clinic is located on Bushrod Island and has 120 beds, with medical staff from the US, UK, and Liberian governments working together to provide care. However, the clinic was not ready to receive patients immediately, as some medical staff were still traveling to the site and others were waiting for equipment to arrive. Despite this, the clinic's opening marks a significant step forward in the fight against Ebola, which has killed over 2,800 people in West Africa so far.
