The first British healthcare worker who caught and survived Ebola has started working in the hospital that helped save his life. He is working as an NHS nurse there. While working nights in A&E at the Royal Free Hospital in north London, he talked to the BBC.

In the interview, Will Pooley said all should ‘honor and remember’ the African healthcare staff, the ones who fought the disease. Last year, he was taken back the UK from Sierra Leone in an RAF airlift.

The 30-year-old Pooley was in a special isolation unit at the Royal Free for a week. There he was treated with the experimental drug ZMapp.

He had a quick recovery and in October, went back to Sierra Leone to help efforts to contain the virus. Last year, the virus took over 11,000 lives in West Africa.

As per the World Health Organization’s latest figures, Guinea has seen just three new Ebola cases in the last week.

Mr Pooley has been at the Royal Free for around three months now. Mr Pooley told BBC News that to him it feels as if a lifetime has passed since he was here, and that he is happy to be alive.

He added, "But my whole year has been colored by the death. A nursing sister and a clutch of other staff there died protecting all of us from Ebola. Their story has been lost in some ways. We should remember them and honor them”
