Dr.David Nabarro designated As System Coordinator For Ebola

UN Secretary General, Ban Ki Moon has designated Dr. David
Nabarro as Senior UN System Coordinator for Ebola. 

Dr. Nabarro will be responsible for ensuring that the UN system makes an effective and
coordinated contribution to the global effort to control the Ebola
outbreak.

Meanwhile, UN Secretary General, Ban Ki-moon has urged the international community to respond urgently to the shortage of doctors, nurses and equipment, including protective clothing and isolation tents to help curtail further spread of the Ebola virus. 

In a statement, he said three steps are essentially urgent to bring an end to the outbreak in
West Africa. 

These include addressing the severe lack of capacity in the most severely affected countries, a coordinated international response and avoiding panic and fear which according to him can go a long way to successfully bring the disease under control. 

Mr Ban said with resources, knowledge, early action and will, people can survive the disease.
