The world is allowing the Ebola outbreak to spin out of control, according
to a leading humanitarian group helping to treat patients in West Africa.
.
In a separate speech, the USA's top public health official also called on
global leaders to do far more to control the Ebola outbreak that has now
spread to five countries.
.
"I could not possibly overstate the need for an emergency response," said
Thomas Frieden, director of the Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention, who just returned from visiting Ebola treatment centers in
West Africa. "There is a window of opportunity to tamp this down, but that
window is closing. ... We need action now."
.
Separately, the missionary group SIM USA announced Tuesday that another of
its workers, an American doctor, has been diagnosed with Ebola in Liberia.
.
Although health leaders know how to halt the spread of the virus, "the
challenge is to scale it up to the massive levels needed to stop Ebola,"
CDC's Frieden said, noting, "Speed is key. For every day's delay, it
becomes harder to stop it."
.
Frieden said the Ebola outbreak the largest in the 40-year-history of the
virus is the first true Ebola epidemic, reaching widely into many
countries. In the past, Ebola affected much smaller communities.
.
The World Health Organization reports that more than 3,000 people have
been infected with Ebola in five countries of West Africa Guinea, Sierra
Leone, Liberia, Nigeria and Senegal and more than half have died.
.
Ebola now threatens the peace and security of the countries affected,
Frieden says, noting that 70 staff from the CDC are now working in West
Africa.
.
"This is not just a problem for Africa," Frieden said. "This is a problem
for the world, and the world needs to respond."
