UK nurse Pauline Cafferkey has said she is "very happy to be alive", having been discharged from hospital after making a full recovery from Ebola.
Speaking to the BBC in her first broadcast interview, Ms Cafferkey, 39, admitted she had felt like "giving up" as her condition became critical.
She said she was now looking forward to returning to "normal life" and had no current plans to return to West Africa.
She is the second Briton to recover from Ebola during the current outbreak.
Speaking after being discharged from the Royal Free Hospital, in London, Ms Cafferkey, from Cambuslang, in South Lanarkshire, thanked staff who she said had saved her life.
"I am just happy to be alive. I still don't feel 100%, I feel quite weak, but I'm looking forward to going home," she added.
