I have never
heard about Ebola until I read an article ‘Windows to Stop Ebola Outbreak is
‘Closing Quickly,’ Official Warns by Alexandra Sifferlin. In this article, the
outbreak of Ebola infected a lot of people in West Africa, even though include
the doctors who from the other countries. A lot of patients have had to turn
away; because of it was lack of space. That will be more difficult to treat
patients and stop the outbreak of Ebola. So I think we should call for
volunteers from all over the world to go to West Africa to help with emergency
relief. The best volunteers will be those with medical trainings and emergency
relief knowledge. We can get some support from international organizations,
such as World Health Organization (WHO). They can organize the volunteers
together and manage the emergency relief activities. Another idea is to
increase the salaries of the local medical staff, so that they can work harder
to help those infected with Ebola. I hope the disease will be stopped as soon
as possible with help from all over the world.
Great ideas. From my understanding the major issue related to this problem is the poverty in these infected countries and the lack of funding. The WHO relies heavily on private donations and without funding there is only so much they can do.
