A Liberian doctor who was infected with Ebola has died after being given the experimental drug, ZMapp.
Dr. Abraham Borbor was one of three Africans who received the drug which was previously used on two Americans.
Information Minister, Lewis Brown told The Associated Press that Borbor was showing improvement after treatment but he suddenly got worse yesterday, August 24, 2014.
The specific time of his death and the condition of the 2 others who received the drug has not been disclosed.
Americans Keith Brantly and Nancy Writebol received ZMapp and recovered but a Spanish priest, Miguel Pajares died after treatment.
Ebola has killed over 1000 people since March and there is currently no cure for the disease.
