CRI听力:5 Ebola Fighters Named as Time Person of the Year for 2014

2014-12-12来源:CRI

Five health care workers, all part of the fight against Ebola in West Africa, will share Time Magazine's 2014 Person of the Year award.

The five include 46-year-old Doctor Jerry Brown, a medical director and general surgeon at the Eternal Love Winning Africa Hospital in Monrovia, Liberia.

Brown says working with Ebola victims is challenging but, ultimately, rewarding.

"For every person I see coming out of the unit and smiling, I have the courage to go back."

The other recipients of the award include a health promoter and a caregiver from the Doctors Without Borders clinic in Monrovia, and a physician with Samaritan's Purse, a Christian humanitarian organization.

The Ebola outbreak has killed more than 6 thousand people out of nearly 18 thousand cases, almost all in Liberia, Sierra Leone and Guinea.
