Liberian Doctor Who Received Ebola Drug Dies 
---------------------------------------------


 
A Liberian doctor infected with Ebola who received one of the last doses
of an experimental drug has died. Two American missionaries recovered
after getting the same drug; a Spanish priest who received it also died.
The World Health Organization said Monday an unprecedented proportion of
healthcare workers have been infected in the West African outbreak due
to factors, including a lack of equipment and dire staff shortages. More
than 240 healthcare workers have contracted Ebola and more than 120 have
died.
