A Massachusetts doctor cured of Ebola said he is returning in January to Liberia, where he contracted the virus, to continue working at a medial mission
Dr.Richard Sacra said he plans to spend four weeks at the same clinic near Monrovia, where he served for 20 years. Sacra contracted Ebola in August and underwent treatment at an Omaha, Nebraska hospital. He returned home in late September and spoke about his ordeal.
"Of course I was concerned that I might die."
Sacra is on the faculty at the UMass Medical School. He was present in Boston Tuesday as Gov Deval Patrick announced a $ 1 million state grant to develop a faster, more accurate test for diagnosing Ebola.
