G7 Points to Need for WHO Reforms, Citing Lessons Learned From Ebola

ISE-SHIMA (Japan), (Sputnik) – The recent Ebola outbreak claimed the lives of over 11,000 people, according to WHO estimates.

UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon has warned that Ebola virus flare-ups would happen in 2016 despite the fact that all known chains of Ebola transmission had been stopped in West Africa.

According to the G7, the Ebola outbreak, which started in Guinea in December 2013 and subsequently spread to neighboring countries, turned into a major epidemic partly due to a lack of prompt action among relevant stakeholders.
