Figure. Isaac Kiiza, a nurse at Kikyo Health Centre, was the first health worker to get Ebola. He was asked to take stool samples, without gloves or a mask, from the first patients to come in and became sick shortly afterwards. He survived but the nurse who treated him contracted Ebola and died. Image by: Christopher Mason
