Experimental Ebola drug for doctors

Questions over who should be treated first.

LIBERIA said yesterday it would treat two infected doctors with the scarce experimental Ebola drug ZMapp, the first Africans to receive the treatment, while authorities in Spain said a 75-year-old priest had died of the disease.

The death toll from the worst ever outbreak of the highly contagious disease has climbed to 1 013 since it was discovered in remote southeastern Guinea in March, according to the World Health Organisation (WHO).
