America To Send 50 Health Experts To West Africa

The United States has made public its plans to send help to West African countries to stop the spread of the disease

Help is on the way for West African countries currently battling the Ebola scourge as the United States of America has announced plans to send health experts into the region.

The development was disclosed by the Director of the Center for Disease Control and Prevention, Dr. Thomas Frieden who said that at least 50 health experts from America would arrive West Africa in the next 30 days.

He said further:

“We do know how to stop Ebola. It’s old-fashioned, plain and simple public health: find the patients, make sure they get treated, find their contacts, track them, educate people, do infection control in hospitals.

“The single most important thing we can do to protect Americans is to stop this disease at the source in Africa”

The recent Ebola outbreak has been described as the worst in history as it has claimed about 728 lives in Guinea, Liberia and Sierra Leone since February.
