President Obama embraced Nina Pham, the Dallas-area nurse declared free of Ebola earlier Friday, with a big hug on Friday, as the White House seeks to calm fears over the spread of the deadly virus.
The president greeted Pham and her family in the Oval Office, and photographers captured Obama wrapping his arms around the 26-year-old nurse.
White House press secretary Josh Earnest said the meeting "should be a pretty apt reminder that we do have the best medical infrastructure in the world, and certainly a medical infrastructure thats in place to protect the American public."
"And the track record of treating Ebola patients in this country is very strong, particularly for those who are you know, who are quickly diagnosed and admitted through the system," he continued.
The National Institutes of Health (NIH) announced earlier Friday that Pham would be discharged from its Bethesda, Md., facility.
