The World Health Organisation is to “ramp up” efforts to prevent Ebola spreading beyond the three countries most affected by the deadly virus.
Top WHO official Isabelle Nuttall told a Geneva news conference that 15 African countries are being prioritised, the BBC reported.
They will receive more help in areas including prevention and protection.
The transmission of the Ebola virus remains intense in Liberia, Sierra Leone and Guinea. Cases were doubling every four weeks, and the death toll was expected to go above 4500 this week, Dr Nuttall said.
