Amber Vinson, the second nurse in the US to be diagnosed with Ebola, was released from hospital in Atlanta, Georgia, on Tuesday and declared "Ebola-free" by doctors at Emory University Hospital.
In a prepared statement read to reporters, Vinson, 29, thanked the hospital staff for their "skill, warmth, and care.
"It has been God's love that has truly carried my family and me through this difficult time and has played such an important role in giving me hope and strength to fight," she said.
Bruce Ribner, medical director of the Serious Communicable Disease unit at Emory, stressed that unlike West Africa, the US has the infrastructure in place to treat Ebola patients effectively, but also attributed Vinson's speedy recovery to her age.
Ribner said Vinson and her colleague Nina Pham, who was also declared Ebola-free last week, "are two of the youngest patients treated in developed countries.
"We know from a lot of data that younger patients do much better than patients who are older," he added.
The White House confirmed that President Barack Obama's Ebola czar, Ron Klain, will be traveling to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) in Atlanta to meet with officials there later this week.
