The $4.27 billion WHO are to blame for Ebola spreading - at last, reports
The World Health Organisation botched early efforts to halt the deadly Ebola virus in West Africa, according to a drafted internal report leaked late yesterday night.
would have been relatively easy to isolate a few African villages. And why didn't they?
"It's the regional office in Africa that's the front line," said Dr Peter Piot, the co-discoverer of the Ebola virus, interviewed by AP at his office in London.
"And they didn't do anything. That office is really not competent," he claimed said.
The report also found that the heads of its country offices in Africa are "politically motivated appointments" made by the WHO regional director for Africa, Dr Luis Sambo, who does not answer to Dr Margaret Chan, the agency’s chief in Geneva.
