World Bank approves $285 mn to fight Ebola
Washington, Nov 19: The World Bank has approved a grant of $285 million to finance the three west African countries hardest hit by the Ebola crisis.
The
grant
is
part
of
the
nearly
1
billion
dollars
of
financing
previously
announced
by
the
World
Bank
for
Guinea,
Liberia
and
Sierra
Leone,
reports
Xinhua.
The additional financing will enable the three countries to deploy additional national and international health workers, scale up community-based care and community engagement for early detection of suspected Ebola cases, the World Bank in a statement on Tuesday.
A previous World Bank analysis showed that if Ebola continues to surge in these three countries and spreads to neighbouring countries, the two-year regional financial impact would reach $32.6 billion by the end of 2015.
According to the World Health Organization, as of Nov 14, 14,413 Ebola cases have been registered in eight countries since the outbreak, with 5,177 deaths.
