A UK female military medic who tested positive for Ebola has been released from the Royal Free Hospital in London after being declared free of the virus.
She was the first person in the world to be given the experimental Ebola drug MIL 77.
Corporal Cross, aged 25, caught the virus while working as a volunteer nurse in Sierra Leone.
She is the third UK worker with Ebola who has recovered at an isolation unit in the London hospital.
Doctors at the Royal Free said they were "absolutely thrilled" she has made a full recovery.
They described the drug she was given as a close relative of the medicine ZMapp - the treatment British nurse William Pooley received.
Experts at the Royal Free said it was made in China and that a limited supply is available should any one need it.
It is too soon to know what role the drug played in her recovery, they said.
Corporal Cross, 25, thanked the team at the hospital, saying they were in her opinion, the best in the world.
She does not know how she caught the disease. Public Health England officials previously announced they are investigating how the military worker was exposed to the virus.
She says she is now looking forward to doing "normal things like eating food and watching TV".
While in the UK she works as an intensive care nurse in the NHS.
