Baku-APA. French Health Minister Marisol Touraine on Monday said a UN worker being treated for Ebola in Paris was in stable condition, APA reports quoting Xinhua.
Speaking to France Inter radio, Touraine said the worker, being treated in Paris at the request of the World Health Organization (WHO), was receiving the best possible care.
"If the medical team deems it necessary to use experimental treatments, it will also be possible," she added.
On Sunday, the UN employee was taken to France from Sierra Leone aboard a specially-equipped jet and placed in isolation at a military hospital in an eastern Paris suburb.
The patient is the second Ebola case to have received treatment in France since the start of the epidemic in March in West Africa.
A French volunteer nurse, working with Medecins Sans Frontieres (MSF), returned home in September after being infected with Ebola virus during a mission in Liberia.
The WHO said 4,951 people have died due to the fatal virus so far, and more than 13,000 others have been infected by the outbreak.
