European Union Request For 5,000 Doctors From Member States To Combat Ebola

Vytenis Andriukaitis, the European Commissioner for Health and Food Safety, and Christos Stylianides, the European Commissioner for Humanitarian Aid and Crisis Management, have already reached out to over 14 ministers, urging them to send more medical staff to Ebola-hit countries. European officials have asked national authorities for both medical staff and volunteers operating through charities for more help in fighting Ebola. In August, medical charity group, Doctors Without Borders, warned that the Ebola outbreak is moving faster than aid organizations can handle.
