Treatme
There is yet no proven
treatment or vaccine for

The best doctors can do is

Basically, Ebola has no
cure, but researchers are
working very hard on it.

Social and Econ
-Ebola isnt just a health crisis, its a social and economic one
too.This disease threatens to unleash a catastrophe in west Africa
that could send an entire generation into poverty. Basically, the
government has already lost revenue. For example, it stopped
trade and tourism for Africa. No one wants to trade or visit the
country because of safety hazards. (thegurdian.com 2014)
