As of August 2014 an epidemic of Ebola virus disease (EVD) is ongoing in West Africa. The outbreak is caused by one of the Ebola viruses, called simply, Ebola virus (EBOV). It is the most severe outbreak of Ebola yet recorded in regard to the number of human cases and fatalities, since records began in 1976. The outbreak began in Guinea in December 2013 but was not detected until March 2014,after which it spreadone, and Nigeria.
As of 11 August 2014, the World Health Organization (WHO) reported a total to date of 1,975 suspected cases and 1,069 deaths (1,251 cases and 686 deaths being laboratory confirmed),and formally designated the outbreak as a public health emergency of international concern. This is a legal designation used only twice before (for the 2009 H1N1 (Swine Flu) pandemicand the 2014 resurgence of polio) and invokes legal measures on disease prevention, surveillance, control, and response, by 194 signatoy countries.
In June and July approximately 5,000 women and children in Sierra Leone died of diseases. The vast majority of these deaths were avoidable. For women and children in Sierra Leone, June and July were just like any other month: unnecessarily dangerous and largely forgotten.
The Ebola outbreak in the country killed 233 people during the same period, and the story made headlines around the worldwide.
