WHO: Ebola Response Roadmap Situation Report 3
12 September 2014
This is the third in a series of regular situation reports on the Ebola Response Roadmap1
. The report
contains a review of the epidemiological situation, and an assessment of the response measured against the core Roadmap indicators where available. Additional indicators will be reported as data are consolidated. The data contained in this report are based on the best information available. Substantial efforts are ongoing to improve the availability and accuracy of information about both the epidemiological situation and the implementation of the response. Following the roadmap structure, country reports fall into three categories: those with widespread and intense transmission (Guinea, Liberia, and Sierra Leone); those with an initial case or cases, or with localized
transmission (Nigeria, Senegal); and those countries that neighbour areas of active transmission (Benin, Burkina Faso, Côte d?Ivoire, Guinea-Bissau, Mali, Senegal).
OVERVIEW
The total number of probable, confirmed and suspected cases in the current outbreak of Ebola virus disease (EVD) in West Africa was 4366, with 2218 deaths, as at 7 September 2014 (see table 1). Countries affected are Guinea, Liberia, Nigeria, Senegal and Sierra Leone. Figure 1 below shows the total number of cases by country that have been reported between the start of 30 December 2013 (epidemiological week 1) and end 7 September 2014 (epidemiological week 36).
