Uganda has discharged its last known Ebola patient from hospital, a senior health official said on Friday, raising hopes that an outbreak that has killed at least 56 people could be coming to an end.

Officials first confirmed the outbreak in September and said it was the Sudan strain of the disease, which kills 40%-60% of those it infects, and for which there is no proven vaccine.

She said medics would continue to monitor people who had come into contact with infected patients until they have been clear for 21 days. She did not say when the last new case was confirmed.
