ABSTRACT
The increase in Ebola cases in the Port Loko district, the main access route to Free Town, the densely populated capital city, raises the need to send an advanced exploration group with the mission of creating the conditions for the deployment of a hospital of collection and treatment of patients of that department in the border with Liberia, where the number of cases grew exponentially. The advance party was formed by three colleagues; one of them was Dr. Baez who had already started working as a clinician at the Kerry Town hospital where he probably got the disease. The article describes the main moments of his illness and his reincorporation to the brigade after his discharge from hospital.REFERENCES
