Italian doctor with Ebola 'improving'

(ANSA) - Venice, December 17 - An Italian doctor fighting for his life after being infected with Ebola in Sierra Leone is "much better" after treatment at Rome's Spallanzani clinic for infectious diseases, the president of the NGO Emergency, Cecilia Strada, said Wednesday.
    "Our doctor who contracted Ebola in Sierra Leone is still being treated at the Spallanzani hospital but he is much better - we can really say that we are starting to see the end of the tunnel," Strada said on the fringes of a conference in Venice.
    "Facing up to Ebola is certainly not a gentle stroll, but now we are rather relieved, this is very, very positive".
