The $6 billion plus requested by President Obama goes beyond emergency care, building more facilities and providing more health care workers. It goes beyond simply eradicating the disease to building a health infrastructure that can keep this from happening again.
Our country has already committed over a billion dollars to fight this disease. The additional $6 billion is six times more. It is even more than WHO, the World Health Organization requested.
Most of the money is going to eradicate the disease, which is out of control in the three west African nations, but billions are also requested to build a health care system in the countries most suffering.
I’m wondering which countries are included. The articles I’ve read do not give a list. I’m wondering if it is more than the three currently fighting the disease.
