According to the Ebola Response Roadmap (2014), their objective is to halt the spread of Ebola within 6 to 9 months; ultimately preventing the Ebola virus from being spread internationally. Due the rapid transmission rate of Ebola in Liberia, Guinea, and Sierra Leone, WHO launched an Ebola Virus Disease Outbreak Response Plan on July 31, 2014. It has been reported that over 3,000 people have been infected with the Ebola Virus and 1,400 people have died; many of them being volunteer healthcare workers

Many people have asked me why the outbreak of Ebola virus disease in West Africa is so large, so severe, and so difficult to contain. These questions can be answered with a single word: poverty.

They have only recently emerged from years of conflict and civil war that have left their health systems largely destroyed or severely disabled and, in some areas, left a generation of children without education

Marburg disease is a very rare but severe hemorrhagic fever. It can affect either human or animals. Marburg HF is caused by Marburg virus, a genetically unique zoonotic (or, animal-borne) RNA virus of the filo virus family. The five species of Ebola virus are the only other known members of the filo virus family (Bausch DG, 2008). 31 people became ill after the first outbreak in laboratories of Marburg and Frankfort Germany in 1967.

Alternatively we are faced with a global responsibility in the wake of rapid climate change, with other humanitarian crises such as the West African Ebola outbreak and the South American Zika virus that can only be resolved through STEM (science; technology; engineering; mathematics). In September 2015 the UN General Assembly established the

Prologue The sun is about to set. That fuzzy and pitch-black place with a nostalgic hymn of the approaching dying twilight is already filled with his desire to wake up from his endless nightmare. Holding a golden ring on his right hand, he is calmly watching over the horizon as he tries to feel better, but he cannot for he is still caged within the memories of the wicked past and within the present catastrophe. He gradually leaned his back to that mango tree where their chained names are carved

the public, this strikes a positive connection with the public. Another good example is the recent case of the Texas Nurse, Nina Pham, who was exposed to the Ebola virus via treatment of one of her patients. The media coverage “positively depicted” her as a caring and compassion nurse who served bravely during the United States’ first Ebola outbreak. This displayed a strong culture of caring for the nursing community. In my personal experience as a nurse, I feel there is a lack of awareness from
