Kent Brantly, the American missionary doctor who contracted the Ebola virus at a treatment center in Liberia, will be released from Emory University Hospital in Atlanta, where he was being treated, according to a hospital spokesman.
Brantly, 33, has been receiving medical care at the Atlanta hospital since Aug. 2, after being evacuated from Liberia. Hopes had been raised for Brantly’s survival after he was given an experimental treatment developed by Mapp Biopharmaceutical Inc., a small biotechnology company based in San Diego.
