 A volunteer from Boston-based nonprofit Partners in Health who was sickened with Ebola while volunteering in Sierra Leone last month has been released from the hospital and deemed Ebola-free, according to the organization.

“We’re heartened by the news that our colleague is heading home, free of Ebola, and making his way toward a full recovery,” said Sheila Davis, chief of Ebola response for PIH. “His commitment to strengthening the quality of health care in some of the world’s poorest communities is something we should all be proud of."

The worker, whose name has not been released, was admitted to the National Institutes of Health in Bethesda, Md., March 13 in serious condition. He recently underwent two consecutive tests to confirm that he was indeed rid of the virus.
