When W.H.O first announced the use of blood from Ebola survivors to treat infected patients in an effort to combat the biggest-ever outbreak, it sounded quite strange.
But now health workers have begun adopting the recommendation.
U.S Doctor Kent Brantly who is an Ebola survivor donated his blood to another doctor, Rick Sacra who was recently evacuated to America after he was infected with the Ebola virus in Liberia.
Brantly, who tested negative for the deadly virus after several weeks of treatment, flew to Nebraska where Sacra is in isolation and donated his blood.
