The public health expert co-ordinating UN efforts to fight Ebola said on
Tuesday that he's heading to Washington and then to West Africa to
determine the best ways the world body can support people, communities
and governments affected by the deadly disease.
David Nabarro
told a news conference that he will have "intensive interactions" on
Wednesday with the World Bank, experts from the US Centers for Disease
Control and Prevention and others before flying to Dakar, Senegal on
Wednesday night.
Nabarro, who was appointed a week ago, said he
will then travel to the four countries affected by the current Ebola
outbreak, Liberia, Sierra Leone, Guinea and Nigeria.
He said
there is a huge, unmet demand for health workers not only to care for
Ebola patients but also to care for people with other conditions.
