Charlotte - An American missionary who survived the Ebola virus is returning to the West African country where she was infected last year.
A spokesperson for the North Carolina-based charity SIM said on Monday that Nancy Writebol is returning to Liberia with her husband. SIM spokesperson George Salloum says David Writebol is taking over as the charity's country director.
He says the Charlotte couple are due to arrive in Liberia in a couple of weeks after attending a conference in Thailand.
Nancy Writebol last summer became the second American infected with the Ebola virus while working at a hospital SIM supports in the Liberian capital of Monrovia.
She and fellow American Dr Kent Brantly recovered from the highly fatal virus at Emory University Hospital in Atlanta.
