Four Indian docs want to return home from Ebola-hit Nigeria

August 13, 2014 11:28

Four Indian doctors in Nigeria, who claim they are being forced to treat Ebola patients against their will, have appealed to the Indian government to facilitate their return.

The doctors claim that their passports have been taken away and they are being issued threats by the Abuja-based private hospital Primus, where they are employed. The hospital has denied the charge.

The hospital has also requested them not to abandon their duties. It has issued an advisory to all its doctors, asking them to continue offering medical services "in the interest of humanity".
