| Sheik Umar Khan |
The doctor
leading Sierra Leone's fight against the worst Ebola outbreak on record died
from the virus on Tuesday, the country's chief medical officer said.
The
death of Sheik Umar Khan, who was credited with treating more than 100
patients, follows those of dozens of local health workers and the infection of
two American medics in neighboring Liberia, highlighting the dangers faced by
staff trying to halt the disease's spread across West Africa.
