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, Yonhap quoted officials as saying.
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 February 23 in Goderich, near the capital Freetown.
