The ebola menace has overwhelmed the health systems of much of the the
countries in which it has spread. But how exactly can these countries
cope with ebola? According to Christopher Graves who is the CEO for
Ogilvy PR, the solution lies in effective communication. Communication
between NGOs, government stakeholders, health professionals and people
will need to be transparent and detailed. For neighbouring countries
improved monitoring of the disease will need to be steadfast. Still,
this is not the time for the international community to abandon the
ebola prone countries. WHO has already claimed that the ebola crisis
was vastly underestimated, and it is time that more effort was put in
place. WHO has okayed an experimental drug that should see some
patients get well, although critics would argue that this merely makes
the patients guinea pigs since the drug has not passed through all the
approval stages.
