Doctors without Borders have warned of a massive influx of Ebola cases in the Guinean capital, Conakry, with facilities reaching their limits.

The aid group's centre in Conakry received 22 patients last Monday alone, including 18 from the same region 50km east of the city.

In Liberia a Uganda-born doctor, John Taban Dada, has died of Ebola at a treatment centre on the outskirts of Monrovia.

His death brings to four, the number of doctors who have died in Liberia since the outbreak.

More than 90 health workers, including nurses and physician assistants, have also died.

There was continued concern about Ebola in Spain, where the first person known to have caught the disease outside West Africa became sick.

The condition of Spanish nursing assistant, Teresa Romero deteriorated yesterday.

Four doctors have also been admitted to the Madrid hospital for precautionary observation, bringing to eight the number of people being monitored at the centre.
