This is good news. The World Health Organization declared the termination
of Ebola outbreak.
Now, every area
having been concerned are deemed free
from Ebola virus, and new patients were not reported.
Ebola virus infection causes a high fever
and several dysfunction to patients. It is occasionally
spread in the tropical region such
as Africa. This outbreak had been continued
for two years. The victims reached to over 10,000.
In this
outbreak, some experimental medicines were used for treatment. It included
ethical issues. It is true that several lives were
saved with newly drugs. On the other hand, there are possibly unidentified risks in the implementation of new
treatment without deliberate consideration.
We should learn something from this long-lasting
outbreak. The border control seemed unsuccessful in this case. Swift delivery
of the patients and drugs is another challenge. And the improvement of hygiene environment
in Africa and some other regions is also required,
because it will lead to the decreased risk of multiplication of any pathogenic micro
bacteria. And it will contribute to the global safety.
