An $430 million will be needed to bring the worst Ebola outbreak on record under control, according to a draft document laying out the World Health Organization?s plan to fight the viral illness.
The plan, which aims to reverse the trend in new Ebola cases within two months and stop all transmission within six to nine months, will require funding from domestic and international governments, development banks, the private sector and in-kind contributions, according to the document, which was obtained by Bloomberg News. More than half the cost will be needed for the treatment, isolation and referral centers that are handling patients.
