British Ebola patient evacuated from DR Congo arrives at London hospital
Doctor who was helping response to outbreak in Africa taken to specialist isolation unit at Royal Free hospital A British doctor who tested positive for Ebola while working in the Democratic Republic of the Congo has returned to the UK for specialist treatment.
What the coverage shows
Both outlets focus on the same British healthcare worker and the Ebola diagnosis, but The Guardian US foregrounds the evacuation to the UK and says the patient is in stable condition and expected to arrive Wednesday or Thursday. The Independent instead leads on the positive test in the Democratic Republic of Congo and notes, uniquely in its extract, that this is the first case in the current outbreak involving a British national.
