South Korean government officials left for Ebola-hit Sierra Leone on Wednesday in a bid to support the third and final batch of Seoul medical workers who will treat Ebola patients in the West African country, officials said.
The departure came as a military medical team consisting of two doctors and three nurses left for Britain on Saturday for safety training. After that, they will kick off a four-week operation on Feb. 23 in Goderich, near the capital Freetown.
