Abstract

The article focuses on the failure of international response to the outbreak of Ebola in Africa due to lack of available funds and not suited methods for the disease. Topics include the health-care systems in countries affected by Ebola which cannot respond to emergency, the lack of medical equipment and untrained staff at public health structures, and the need for high-income countries' health-care workers to help their colleagues in Africa develop strategy for preventing such disease.
