Christian Doctor Kent Brantly Says He Has 'No Regrets' About Treating Ebola in Africa

Kent Brantly, the well-known American doctor who survived Ebola last year, has said recently that he has no regrets about his decision to serve as a doctor in Liberia.

Brantly made headlines in 2014 when he contracted Ebola while working for the evangelical aid organization Samaritan's Purse in Monrovia, Liberia.

Brantly told The Christian Post in a recent interview that despite contracting the deadly virus that claims 90 percent of its victims' lives, he does not regret his decision to serve as a missionary doctor in Africa.

"That's what God called us to," Brantly told CP. "And in the whole time throughout this ordeal we knew that we were doing the right thing and were in the right place. So no matter what happened, we didn't have regrets about it."

The Christian physician became the first American to be transferred to the United States to be treated for the disease, and he was put in the care of Emory University Hospital in Atlanta, Georgia.

Brantly has been outspoken about how his faith guided him during his time of sickness, telling NBC News during a previous interview that he believes it was God's calling to travel to Africa to help the sick.

"It is a frightening thing to know you are encountering the most deadly virus known to man," he said. "I have been called by God to serve Him with the gifts, skills and talents He has given me. And He called me to serve Him in places where the need is great and others may not be willing to go. I am confident in this calling, and, therefore, I can be confident in my current circumstances."

In 2014, Brantly was named one of Time magazine's Person of the Year for treating Ebola.
