Six Ebola survivors in the Liberian capital, Monrovia, were released
from hospital on Saturday, as they had consistently tested negative for
the virus after coming in with symptoms of the disease.
One of them, Janga Kanneh, said she was "feeling good" after her recovery.
She had gone to the centre with her husband, her two young boys and her husband's brother, but that her husband had since died.
Health officials in Monrovia urged people who showed signs of the disease to be brought into a health facility earlier to minimise the risk of death.
Meanwhile, the Director of the US Centres for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), Tom Frieden, along with other CDC doctors, visited an Ebola isolation centre in Conakry, New Guinea.
Frieden called for an "overwhelming, global response to rapidly scale up" efforts to stop the virus spreading and treat the people infected by it.
