Doctors Struggle To Contain Ebola Outbreak

The ebola outbreak currently spreading through West African countries is "serious" and not under control, an expert with the World Health Organisation has said. On Wednesday in Geneva, Pierre Formenty, a doctor with the international health body who had just returned from a trip to Guinea, said the virus, which has already claimed 186 lives in Guinea since March, and has since spread to Sierre Leone and Liberia, was not on the decline.
