At the just-concluded EU autumn summit, EU 28 leaders unanimously decided to increase economic aid against the Ebola epidemic, while appointing the upcoming new European Commission Humanitarian Aid Commissioner Christopher Stie United Nedes is the EU Ebola outbreak coordinator. On October 27th, Stiltonides held his first press conference, saying that he would mobilize tens of thousands of medical workers to go to the Ebola epidemic area.
The EU Ebola outbreak coordinator Christos Steinides, who just took office, held a press conference in Brussels on the 27th to brief the EU on the progress and future plans of the Ebola issue. A few days ago, the EU raised its economic assistance to fight the Ebola epidemic to 1 billion euros. How is the fundraising progress? How will the EU use this aid? It is the first one that Stylandides introduced at the press conference. Focus.
“European member states have now raised and used more than 800 million euros to fight the Ebola outbreak. We have sent medical and humanitarian experts to the affected countries and used medical laboratories. In addition, we are using medical devices. Transported to infected areas, and we are also supporting local governments to help them strengthen their local medical infrastructure."
Earlier reports of criticism of the Ebola epidemic in Europe and the United States, coupled with the scarcity of local medical staff, medical resources behind, led to the flood of Ebola in West Africa. Steinides said that the EU is still raising more manpower and material resources, and it is expected that tens of thousands of people will go to the affected areas for relief work.
“We still need more medical beds. Now that we have 1000 beds, we have to raise 5,000 sheets as soon as possible, and each bed needs to work with 8 staff members, which means we need to mobilize at least immediately. At least 40,000 people went to the affected areas."
The WHO has recently announced that the first phase of clinical trials of the two Ebola vaccines has been launched in the United States, the United Kingdom and Mali, and that tens of thousands of vaccines are likely to be put into use as soon as possible in the first half of next year. Steinides said that the EU has also started work on vaccine development.
“I will work with EU research specialist Carlos Modas to find ways to accelerate vaccine development. The EU will fund this work to ensure that researchers can quickly and safely develop this life-saving drug. More than 24 million euros of special funds have been invested in research and development through the EU's rapid approval process."
In order to express the EU's emphasis on the Ebola epidemic in West Africa and the confidence in fighting the epidemic, Stie Nides also announced at a press conference that he would personally visit the affected area in the near future.
"I want to re-emphasize the decision that I have promised beforehand to go to the affected area to infect the infected country. I will go to the affected area in the second week of November to personally express our belief in fighting Ebola together. I can also better assess local needs, which will help me decide the next work goal."
