Mali confirmed its first case of Ebola on Thursday, becoming the sixth West African country to be touched by the worst outbreak on record of the haemorrhagic fever, which has killed nearly 4,900 people.
Mali's Health Minister Ousmane Kone told
state television that the patient in the western town of Kayes was a
two-year-old girl who had recently arrived from neighbouring Guinea,
where the outbreak began."The condition of the girl, according to our services, is improving thanks to her rapid treatment," the minister told state television.
