A Cuban doctor who recovered from Ebola after receiving experimental treatment in Switzerland has been welcomed back to Havana by relatives and officials.

 

Felix Baez was the first of Cuba's contingent of 250 doctors and nurses to have contracted Ebola in West Africa.

 

He was met at Havana's Jose Marti airport by his family and Health Minister Roberto Morales.

 

He told reporters that he and his colleagues were committed to fighting Ebola and he hoped to return to Africa.

 

"I will return there to finish what I started," he said.

 

 

Dr Baez fell ill in Sierra Leone and was taken to Geneva a few days later, on 20 November.

 

At a Swiss hospital he was treated with a precursor Ebola drug, ZMapp and also given an untested Japanese flu drug.

 

The hospital says Dr Baez has made a full recovery.
