The Sierra Leone Telegraph: 12 August 2014

The World Health Organisation (WHO) has announced it will start using experimental drugs and treatments in West Africa, to help fight the deadly Ebola virus.

This news comes as the death toll in West Africa rises above 1,000.

The ethics committee of WHO has concluded its deliberations into the rights and wrongs of using untested and unapproved treatments and drugs on Ebola victims. And its decision is unanimous and unequivocal.

WHO’s ethics committee says that under the current circumstances prevailing in Sierra Leone, Guinea, Liberia and Nigeria, and the growing risk to global public health, the moral obligation to save life, far outweighs any ethical issues and risks of using such treatments.


There is no known cure for the Ebola virus, but trialling of the Zmapp drug in the US, on two American medics who contracted the virus in Liberia is proving hopeful.
