From TVC Sierra Leone on Tuesday.A patient who was diagnosed of Ebola celebrated the release from hospital and she is alive and healthy...There has been a 42-day countdown to being declared free of the virus, medical sources said right from Sierra Leone.
                             
          The last known victim of the dreaded disease was
released from hospital on Monday.As we speak she is at home with her family filled with so much joy...WHO tag Ebola as the worst deadly disease in Africa.This disease has been killing people in all of Africa and abroad for over a year..Ebola infected more than 30,0000 victim and killed more than fourth of the victim.

          The first case was confirmed in Sierra Leaone in May 2014 and has since recorded the highest number of cases in the continent.Liberia happened to be the nearest country that suffered the dread Ebola diseases.
                                                         
         Adama Sankoh is the last victim to confirm healthy...reported stated that she is 35 and has responded awesome to treatment..She got her last test on Sunday before she was release and certified free from Ebola...President Ernest Bai Koroma was one of the attended guest.
                             
         Medical staff celebrated and Ebola survivors held up signs of praise to Koroma at the International Medical Corps treatment centre in the city of Makeni 140 km (87 miles) east of Freetown.

"...Today is without doubt a day for celebration and reflection on the thousands of lives lost during this devastating crisis," said Sean Casey, regional director for the International Medical Corps West Africa Ebola response.

Sankoh is thought to have caught the virus from her son who was a victim of the last known transmission chain in the country in the northern village of Massessebeh. The entire community of more than 500 people was quarantined for three weeks as a result to contain the infection.

During the course of the epidemic, the outbreak has ebbed only to flare back again. Liberia was declared Ebola-free in May but a fresh cluster of cases appeared nearly two months later.

Scientists say sexual transmission is the most likely explanation for the resurgence in Liberia since the virus can live on in semen beyond the usual 21-day incubation period.
