GENEVA: The United States could bolster the battle against the Ebola virus in Democratic Republic of Congo by allowing more of its experts to travel to the outbreak zone, a senior World Health Organization official said on Friday.
This month former U.S. Ebola response coordinator Ronald Klain called on the White House to reverse its policy of keeping U.S. Centers for Disease Control staff out of outbreak zones, and Britain has said too many countries were using security as an excuse not to send people to the front line. "It is hard to fight a battle without your best ally at your side," WHO's emergencies chief Mike Ryan told reporters, when asked about CDC's deployment."But our colleagues in CDC have provided amazing support, both in Congo, in the surrounding countries, here in Geneva, in our operation centers in backstopping and providing high level technical assistance to the response," Ryan said.
