5 000 more health workers needed in Ebola fight

Addis Ababa - The Ebola outbreak in West Africa requires at
least 5,000 additional health workers, World Bank President Jim
Yong Kim said on Tuesday.
"Health workers are critical. We need 5 000 health workers who
must rotate," Kim said in Addis Ababa at a press conference with
UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon and African Union
chairperson Nkosazana Dlamini-Zuma.
The World Bank chief expressed concern over how to find the
health workers "with the fear factor going out of control in so
many places."
"I put a call to all medical practitioners around the world to keep
to their oath to provide treatment. We have to step up our
efforts," he said.
