Individual treatments in August 2014

In 2014, Samaritan's Purse worked with the FDA and Mapp Biopharmaceutical to make the drug available to two of its health workers who were infected by Ebola during their work in Liberia, under the Expanded access program.[18] At the time, there were only a few doses of ZMapp in existence.[18] Both workers received the drug and were transported to the US, where they recovered and were then released from the hospital.[21][22][23] A 75-year-old Spanish priest who was infected with Ebola in Liberia received ZMapp in cooperation with Spanish health authorities, and died shortly thereafter.[24][25]

The west African nation of Liberia secured enough ZMapp to treat three Liberians with the disease, one of whom died.[26][27]

A British nurse who contracted Ebola while working in Sierra Leone, was transported to the UK and treated with ZMapp, and recovered.[28][29]

Mapp announced on August 11, 2014 that its supplies of the drug had been exhausted.[30]

It looks like only three doses went to Liberia rather than 7.
