President Barack Obama of the United States yesterday said it was too early to send the experimental #Ebola drug -ZMapp- to Africa, because things are still sketchy.
According to him, a strong public health system should curtail the spread of the virus and eventually eradicate it.
Excerpt from Aljazeera:
US President Barack Obama said it is "premature" to send an experimental medicine for the treatment of Ebola to West Africa, as #Liberia declared a state of emergency amid an outbreak that shows no signs of slowing.
Obama said on Wednesday that he lacked enough information to green-light a promising medicine called #ZMapp that was already used on two American aid workers who saw their conditions improve by varying degrees.
"We've got to let the science guide us and I don't think all the information is in on whether this drug is helpful," Obama said. "The Ebola virus, both currently and in the past, is controllable if you have a strong public health infrastructure in place."
