Liberia opens new centre for Ebola victims as first overwhelmed

Authorities in Liberia have opened a new centre to treat Ebola patients in the capital after the existing one became overwhelmed with patients.

The first centre in Monrovia was only meant to treat 25 people but had about 80 patients as of Friday, said Assistant Health Minister Tolbert Nyenswah. The new centre will have 120 beds but may eventually be tripled in size because of the ongoing crisis.
