Inside RFA Argus - the British ship on course to battle Ebola

As the Ebola virus continues it's rampant spread across the globe, the UK is stepping up efforts to tackle the infection in West Africa.
RFA Argus, a medical ship with a fully-equipped 100-bed hospital on board, is to be sent to Sierra Leone, along with three Merlin helicopters.
The decision to send RFA Argus to one of the worst hit of the African countries comes as Foreign Secretary Philip Hammond declared Ebola as "an unprecedented threat that knows no borders".
He said: "We have to get ahead of this disease, but if we get ahead of it, if we rise to the challenge, we can contain it and beat it. We know how to do this, it is not complicated to do, it just requires a large focus of resource and effort to deliver it."
The Telegraph offers an exclusive look inside the medical ship, as Captain David Eagles explains the role RFA Argus will play in the battle against Ebola once it moors in Sierra Leone.
