A fourth health worker has succumbed to Ebola virus. Margare Nabisubi, an anesthetic officer died on Wednesday at Fort Portal Regional Referral Hospital isolation unit.

Her death was announced by the Minister of Health, Dr. Jane Ruth Aceng on Twitter. “I regret to announce the passing of another health worker, Nabisubi Margaret, an anesthetic officer,” part of the statement said.

 

Nabisubi is one of the six medical workers from Mubende hospital who were transferred to Fort Portal last week.

On Saturday, Dr. Mohammed Ali, a 37-year-old Tanzanian national succumbed to Ebola.
