Ebola Failure

In the year 1976, Ebola outbreaks occurred for the first time in rural villages, which are close to tropical forests of Central Africa, but the first ever diagnosed case was reported in the last quarter of the year 2013 in Guinea, which is in close proximity with Liberia and Sierra Leone(Team, 2014). The knowledge of the viral transmission from any animal species to human beings is missing. WHO, an active entity of the UN, is accountable of coordinating international action in any severe disease emergencies like this as WHO has been successful in eliminating disease of high severity like small pox. The question that disturbs us is how did this ailment go horribly out of control? I believe that Ebola has exposed the lack of communication between

In an initiative vacuum, affluent nations sent in military resources, the UN Security Council pronounced Ebola a risk to global peace and security, and UN Secretary- General Ban Ki-moon established a specialised UN mission. How did this circumstance emerge, and what will it take to bring Ebola under control and avoid future emergencies? The answers lie in disappointments of leadership and authority. WHO pronounced Ebola a PHEIC on Aug 8, activating impermanent non-tying suggestions(Lawrence, Gostin, & Center, 2014). A few nations forced travel bans, in contrast to WHOs directive(Gostin & Friedman, 2014). Afflicted states, moreover, couldn't practically actualize WHO suggestions for centres treating patients with the virus, compensation for public health officers, and protective equipment for individuals. The postponed and divided reaction to Ebola left a vacuum, which prompted an unprecedented request from Médecins Sans Frontières for military organization logistics, designing, and store network administration. On Sept 16, US President Barack Obama proclaimed a military-headed reaction in Liberia, which could prop up limit yet won't fill significant administration shortages, which calls for UN initiatives. In addition, WHO controls just 30% of its budgeting, and its member states have diverted WHO's protocol through alloted funds(Magnusson, 2011). No

As the Ebola emergency has been worsening WHO authority has been working diligently facilitating an anti-tobacco gathering and pushing for escalated cigarette charges. Non-transmittable maladies call for national arrangements whereas pandemics call for global arrangements. Assets are limited, and WHO progressively uses them on non-communicable diseases rather than on the pandemics. After 2011 financing shortage, WHO cut its already inadequate budgeting by about US $600 million and the crisis reaction units were lessened, with some outbreak control specialists leaving the organisation( Gostin & Friedman, 2014). Accordingly, subsidizing issues brought on by the worldwide economic meltdown have led it to concentrate considerably more on non-transmittable ailments. When it comes to pandemics, WHO's arrangement has been to declare regulations for health and let singular countries get themselves straightened out. But this arrangements doesn't provide adequate support to financially disabled countries like Liberia. The reliance of WHO on the false faith that it could effectively use its wherewithal during an emergency, but the wait for contribution from different nations turned out to be a quite expensive delay. WHO has been always working in activating assets for Ebola: in April, 2014, it looked for $4.8 million, by the
