Scots nurse Pauline Cafferkey is being flown to London after being admitted to hospital in Glasgow for a third time since contracting Ebola.

The 40-year-old from South Lanarkshire was in a "stable" condition at Glasgow's Queen Elizabeth Hospital.

She was put on an RAF Hercules aircraft which is flying her to the Royal Free Hospital for specialist treatment.

Ms Cafferkey was treated there twice in 2015 after contracting Ebola in Sierra Leone the previous year.

trying to help others in need. It just seems so unfair.
I wish her the all best and hope at some point her body will be completely rid of this accursed virus.
