A French nurse who contracted Ebola while volunteering for Doctors Without Borders (MSF) in Liberia has been cured of the deadly virus, the French health minister has said.
The nurse, who has not been identified, "is now cured and has left hospital," Marisol Touraine said in a statement.
The first French national to be infected with the virus was airlifted back to France on 19 September and received experimental treatment at a military hospital on the outskirts of Paris.
Ebola has killed more than 3,300 people in west Africa in the worst ever outbreak of the disease.
Ms Touraine authorised the use in France of three experimental drugs for the treatment of Ebola, including antiviral medicine Avigan, produced by Japanese firm Toyama Chemical, a subsidiary of FujiFilm Holdings.
The company said the nurse had been given Avigan, which was approved in Japan in March.
There is no licensed treatment or vaccine for Ebola.
Of several prototype treatments in the pipeline, one dubbed ZMapp has been fast-tracked for use, developed by Mapp Biopharmaceutical in California, in conjunction with the US Army.
