Ebola:national security in West Africa is threatened by Ebola

The virus is not suppressed due to the absence of a global effort to implement emergency measures for public health.
The Ebola outbreak rooted in West Africa has become a real threat to the stability and security of society in the region, the best American Centers for Disease Control and Prevention Diseases official said today, after his return yesterday a trip there.

Failure to comply with the spread of the Ebola virus is emphasizing infrastructure of the countries affected by the disease that still will continue to provide basic health and safety and promote the business of the routine. Fear of its spread also hinders attention to other diseases and can put more and more the stability of neighboring countries at risk, said CDC Director Tom Frieden during a press conference today. "This is a problem for the world and the world needs to respond," he said. The spread of the epidemic in Guinea, Sierra Leone, Liberia and Nigeria to include Senegal. Fortunately, a small separate in the Democratic Republic of Congo Ebola outbreak does not appear to be related to the case of West Africa.


Meanwhile, Ebola also hinders all other medical care because health workers are afraid to go to work, Frieden said. Paradoxically, attempts to help pack the virus by canceling flights to the countries where the virus is actually making it more difficult to send staff and essential supplies, he said. "I could not overstate the need for urgent action," he said. "The window of opportunity very firm."

CDC calls for more medical supplies, technical experts in the management of health care and in a comprehensive and coordinated approach to the epidemic. Currently, there is still enough beds for patients, not enough to come to help the case of the string data. Surveillance and monitoring of those who were potentially exposed to the virus are still insufficient. Frieden urged people with experience in health care to volunteer with organizations like Doctors Without Borders that have the expertise to assist in response experience. These efforts are not without risk. SIM USA today announced another American missionary doctor has tested positive for the Ebola virus. This doctor was not treated Ebola patients, but patients treated obstetric center in Monrovia, Liberia.

In the coming weeks, to help strengthen the region's response, the World Health Organization has established a call for $ 490 million dollars. And this week, clinical trials of a vaccine candidate against Ebola National Institutes of Health will start. An experimental drug called ZMapp also shows promise to help cure Ebola in monkeys, but has not been tested in human clinical trials. But in the meantime, every day of the disease is not controlled, it can be harder to quit than the scale of the epidemic grows, Frieden said. It is also possible that genetic mutations that the virus accumulates over time could make it fatal or easily transmissible between humans.

The epicenter of the epidemic, the wooded area at the intersection of the porous borders of these countries, home to about one million people, Frieden said. Improve access to programs of existing health care in their fight against malaria could help reduce the load and increase the confidence level of the population, but it will be a slow process. Currently, he said, "We need a win-win" policy, where we will not look back and say we should have done more.
