The US has announced plans to send at least 50 public health
experts to West Africa to help fight the worst-ever outbreak of Ebola, the BBC
reports.
Dr Thomas Frieden, director of the Centers for Disease
Control and Prevention, announced the new US measures in an interview with
ABC's This Week.
"We do know how to stop Ebola. It's old-fashioned plain
and simple public health: find the patients, make sure they get treated, find
their contacts, track them, educate people, do infection control in hospitals."
The experts would arrive in West Africa within 30 days to
fight what he called the "scary" disease.
