British Ebola nurse travels to US to try to save victim

Will Pooley survived after treatment for Ebola

A British nurse who recovered from Ebola has travelled to the US to donate blood to try to save the life of another victim of the virus.

Will Pooley, 29, was discharged from the Royal Free Hospital in north-west London two weeks ago where he received treatment in a special isolation unit.
Both Mr Pooley and the new victim, who has not been named, are believed to have worked together in Sierra Leone.
The Foreign Office said it had arranged a replacement passport within 24 hours.
As a survivor of the disease, Mr Pooley could help the victim recover by donating his blood which will now contain natural antibodies that can help protect against Ebola.
Mr Pooley is thought to have flown to Atlanta at the weekend after the Foreign Office issued him with an emergency passport.
His original passport was burned along with other belongings as a precaution to stop the virus from spreading.
