The World Health Organization says Liberia and Guinea have met a goal to treat 70 percent of patients suffering from Ebola, while Sierra Leone has not. The agency warned it may not reach a year-end goal to isolate and care for all patients. But Anthony Banbury, head of the U.N. Ebola response mission, cited progress.
Anthony Banbury: “The global response to the Ebola crisis has succeeded in turning this crisis around. Where we were 60 days ago compared to where we are now, we have been — and by 'we,' I’m talking about all the actors involved in the response — extremely successful in getting this crisis under control. We’re far away from being out of the woods, but there has been remarkable results achieved in the past 60 days.”
