They survived Ebola. Now they are shunned.

Melvin Korkor thought the hardest fight had already been won.

Weeks after contracting Ebola — most likely from a sick patient — Korkor, a Liberian doctor, was able to walk out of a treatment center in Lofa with a clean bill of health, according to Voice of America.

He was one of the lucky ones to survive the deadly disease.

But since leaving the hospital, Korkor has been fighting another difficult battle: Overcoming Ebola-survivor stigma — which, he told a Liberian radio station, "is worse than the fever."
