Chinese healthcare professionals help out at the front line

On March 17, Cao Guang was working as usual at the China-Guinea Friendship Hospital at Conakry, capital of Guinea in West Africa.

The Chinese healthcare professional conducted a medical examination on a 44-year-old patient, who was later diagnosed as the first person infected by the latest Ebola virus outbreak.

Without realizing the severity of the situation, that first Ebola sufferer infected a total of nine medical workers, including Cao. Six of those infected later died.
