DALLAS — Texas nurse Nina Pham, one of two caregivers to contract
Ebola from Liberian Thomas Eric Duncan, is now free of the deadly
virus, the National Institutes of Health announced on Friday.
The Maryland medical research agency says Pham will be discharged from
their facility.
Details of her recovery are expected to be given at an 11:30 a.m. ET
news conference, where officials said Pham plans to make a statement.
The 26-year-old Pham arrived last week at the NIH Clinical Center in
Bethesda, Maryland. She had been flown there from Texas Presbyterian
Hospital in Dallas.
On Wednesday, the family of Amber Vinson — the other nurse to be
infected with Ebola while treating Duncan — said that 29-year-old is
now in good condition at Emory University Hospital in Atlanta.
