Savini H, Janvier F, Karkowski L, et al. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (2017) C_CDC

Emerg Infect Dis. 2017 Aug (Accessed July 18,2017) Abstract: We report 77 cases of occupational exposures for 57 healthcare workers at the Ebola Treatment Center in Conakry, Guinea, during the Ebola virus disease outbreak in 2014-2015. Despite the high incidence of 3.5 occupational exposures/healthcare worker/year, only 18 percent of workers were at high risk for transmission, and no infections occurred.

Lutte contre l'épidémie d'Ébola

Mehmet Cangul, Carlo Sdralevich et Inderjit Sian IMF (2017) C1

C’est en agissant prestement sur le front économique que l’on a pu surmonter cette crise sanitaire
L’Afrique de l’Ouest et la communauté internationale ont dû faire face à une crise sanitaire sans précédent lorsqu’a éclaté, en mars 2014, la plus grande épidémie de la maladie à virus Ébola jamais enregistrée. Celle-ci a fait plus de 11.000 morts et infecté plus de 28.000 personnes entre la fin 2013 et le début 2016.
L’importance des dépenses sanitaires et sociales que cette épidémie a exigées a aussi provoqué une crise économique, qui a été aggravée par l’effondrement presque concomitant des cours des produits de base. Déjà sous pression avant la survenue de l’épidémie, les systèmes sanitaires et sociaux de la Guinée, du Libéria et de la Sierra Leone — pays les plus touchés — ont été submergés
