That the world has been awakened by the Ebola crisis in West Africa - Guinea, Liberia, Nigeria and Sierra Leone - is not debatable. News channels in all regions of the world have extensively reported on the intensity of the crisis.
The World Health Organisation has termed this a 'global public health emergency' as the socio-economic systems in the affected countries are severely disrupted. Governments are keen to put measures in place to prevent the spread of Ebola into their territories.
