Monrovia — Dr. Abraham Borbor, Deputy Chief Medical Doctor at Liberias leading medical institution, the John F. Kennedy Medical Center and one of three doctors recently injected with the Anti-Ebola trial drug, ZMAPP has died. “He was walking around yesterday and the doctors were hopeful that he would make a full recovery. “ Three dosages of the ZMAPP arrived in Liberia on August 14 and administered to Dr. Borbor, along with a Nigerian doctor, Dr. Aroh Cosmos Izchukwu and a Ugandan doctor assisting the JFK Hospital. Another prominent JFK Doctor, Dr. Phillip Zokonis Ireland who was in isolation along with Dr. Borbor, walked out of the isolation unit last week, but was not one of the recipients of the ZMAPP drug. The drug has already been administered to two American health care workers and a Spanish priest, all previously working in Liberian hospitals. The two American doctors, survived while the Spanish priest died. Dr. Kent Brantly and aid worker, Nancy Writebol both of the medical humanitarian group, Samaritan Purse, were discharged last week from Emory University Hospital in Atlanta after recovering from Ebola and testing clear of the virus. Writebol left the hospital on Tuesday, August 19 and has since joined her husband David.
