Health care: Life Vs Ebola virus.





1. Ebola Virus: What is this?


The Ebola virus is the name of the new enemy of human being. It is first seen in West Africa and is 'totally out of control'. Doctors exhausted in their attempts to treat the disease. For this dangerous viruses, the current outbreak has caused more deaths than anything else on the record. The Ebola virus has been linked to the deaths of over 330 in Guinea, Liberia and Sierra Leone, according to the latest figures from the World Health Organization.

2. What is the reality



The fact that the epidemic is now totally out of control. The epidemic, which began in Guinea last year or early this year, slowly before picking up pace against in recent weeks, including the deployment of the capital Liberia for the first time. This is a top in small groups and has the largest number of deaths.The previous toll was the first recorded of the Ebola virus outbreak in the Congo in 1976, when reporting on the death was 280.

3. How does it spread?


Ebola often affects remote and all first cases sometimes go unrecognized. Several locations in the current outbreak and the movement across borders make a still more difficult Ebola outbreaks. The epidemic shows no signs of slowing and that Governments and international organizations were far from winning this battle. But the outbreak of the Ebola virus is even more worrying, an expert has warned that Governments did not recognize the seriousness of the situation.

4. Our weakness


This expert has criticized the World Health Organization for not doing enough to encourage the leaders and he needs to bring, in addition to experts to make this vital work to find all the people who have been in contact with patients. It must be the genuine political commitment and this emergency situation is very large. Otherwise, it would continue to publish, and for sure, it will spread to other countries. The World Health Organization did not respond immediately to requests for comment.

5. Struggle against Ebola


Governments and international organizations would certainly struggle to cope with a serious outbreak of disease which is the provision of equipment for the three countries concerned and the dissemination of information on how people can protect themselves against the disease. But the disease strikes one of the poorest regions of the world, where there are already frail public systems. The affected countries at the bottom of the human development index. Seriously crippled their ability to respond effectively to contain the spread of the Ebola virus. Mode requires a more effective response. With more than 40 international employees currently on the ground and four treatment groups, doctors without borders has done its limit to respond.
6. Limitation

Mr. Janssens said particularly difficult this outbreak as it began in one area very mobile, where people and spread to several regions, such as the capitals of Guinea and Liberia overcrowded. Usually the disease affects areas desolate in Central America or Africa, spreads less easily, he said. In contrast, the focus of the outbreak near the main regional transport hub, the Guinean town of Gueckedou. The only way to stop the spread of this disease to persuade people to come forward when the symptoms occur and avoid touching the sick and the dead.

7. Finally

Still no real change in the behavior of individuals. So many patients still remain in hiding or continue to travel. And there is still news that funerary practices are always serious.
