Paris - France said on Thursday it would
send about 20 specialists in biological
disasters to West Africa to help stop the
spread of Ebola after international health
organisations lamented the lack of aid from
the West to tackle the epidemic.
"In response to the World Health
Organisation call. France is increasing its
help to fight the Ebola epidemic by sending
a contingent of health and medical experts
to Guinea," the Foreign Ministry said in a
statement.
The worst outbreak of the Ebola virus in
history will not be brought under control
unless wealthy nations dispatch specialized
biological disaster response teams, the
head of charity Medecins Sans Frontieres
(MSF) said on Tuesday.
France said it was sending about 20 experts
from the EPRUS institute, which specialises
in responding to health emergencies. The
first five will leave on Friday, it said.
The experts would be based in Guinea for
the next three months to coordinate with
local authorities.
