On October 10th 2014, Ebola reached Macedonia.
According to local media a British citizen with symptoms similar to those of Ebola
died in a hospital in Skopje. The man presented signs of hemorrhagic fever,
but only thorough analyzes - which are made at a clinic in Germany - will

3,900 lives in Africa
Macedonian authorities have quarantined the hotel in
Skopje, where the British citizen was staying since his arrival on October 2. None

results come from Germany. Thursday afternoon, a British citizen age 58, who was
in Macedonia on business was taken to the hospital in critical condition and died a

hemorrhagic fever. According to Sky News and BBC, quoting government sources,
the two people did not travel to Africa. The victim and his colleague arrived
in Macedonia, directly from UK.

years now I've worked in public health and the only thing comparable to Ebola is
AIDS. We need to make sure that Ebola epidemic will not become "the next
