The United States will receive its tenth medical patient diagnosed with Ebola Saturday afternoon.

After being diagnosed with the deadly virus, Dr. Martin Salia, a surgeon working in Sierra Leone, was scheduled to be flown to the United States for treatment.

The 44-year-old doctor will be cared for at the Nebraska Medical Center in Omaha, said Sierra Leone's chief medical officer, Dr. Brima Kargbo, according to the Associated Press.

The general surgeon was working at Kissy United Methodist Hospital in Freetown, the capital of Sierra Leone, when he was diagnosed. He will reportedly pay for his treatment.

Salia is reportedly a Sierra Leone citizen who lives in Maryland and is a permanent U.S. resident. He will be the third Ebola patient at the Omaha hospital.

Meanwhile, back in the States, Dr. Craig Spencer was released from a New York City hospital on Tuesday after undergoing weeks of rigorous treatment and testing for Ebola.

The 33-year-old Harlem doctor tested positive for Ebola after he was admitted to the Bellevue Hospital Center in New York City on Oct. 23. He contacted authorities when he began showing symptoms of Ebola days after returning from Guinea, where he worked with Doctors Without Borders and treated Ebola patients.

On Monday, the New York City Health and Hospitals Corporation issued a statement, saying, "Dr. Spencer poses no public-health risk" and he is set to be released on Tuesday, reports the New York Post.

Dr. Spencer initially told officials that he isolated himself in his apartment after he returned from West Africa on Oct. 17. However, it was later revealed that he went for a jog, traveled on several subways lines, went bowling in Brooklyn and ate at a restaurant in the West Village.

Doctors have not developed a cure or vaccine for Ebola.
