Ebola has been the most deadliest disease in Africa and has killed over 10,000 people. A well noted tip they since learned from Ebola is to first stop it from spreading to other parts of the world. It is important to be well educated about the disease so you know how to not spread the disease. They have also learned Ebola is also very hard to diagnose and this is leaving medical staff with this disease as well.
Ebola was definitely a international health crisis. There are laws that the International Health Regulations has set to offset the spread of the diseases like Ebola but many countries did not follow these and that caused Ebola to not be detected as quickly as it could have been. The bigger question is what can help other diseases be caught earlier and not spread to as many people. Diseases can reemerge from time to time and this leaves people confused. You also have to remember a disease can come from something in nature, it does not always have to come from another human. The article talks about having stronger regulations and laws in the health field so they can detect diseases much faster.
This article was confusing with the back and forth talk with Ebola and other diseases. I would not recommend this article to learn about anything to do with Ebola. Overall, the point was to help not spread the disease.
