{CNN) — A patient diagnosed with Ebola arrived in the United States for treatment.
The patient left Sierra Leone Saturday, November 15, 2014 to come to the Nebraska Medical Center in Omaha where he will undergo treatment, according to hospital spokeswoman Taylor Wilson.
While Wilson did not identify the patient, the family of Dr. Martin Salia — a surgeon — has previously said he is the patient in question. Salia, who is a legal permanent resident of the United States, is married to a U.S. citizen, his relatives told CNN affiliate WJZ.
