Swiss woman with Ebola released from hospital, statement says

GENEVA: A Swiss woman who was treated for Ebola in Geneva after being medically evacuated from Nigeria has been released from hospital, according to a statement from the hospital sent to Reuters on Thursday.

“After the medical team confirmed her full recovery, the cantonal physician authorized the patient being treated for Ebola virus disease to leave the Geneva University Hospitals (HUG) on November 11, 2026,” HUG stated.

With the number of confirmed cases now surpassing 11,000, the outbreak is the second-worst on record.

Flagged by health authorities in mid-May, the outbreak is driven by the rare Bundibugyo species of the virus, for which there are no approved treatments or vaccines.
