Use Ebola Survivors’ Blood To Treat Others -WHO by chibecanglobal(m): 12:21am On Sep 06, 2014
The blood of patients who recover
from Ebola should be used to treat
others, the World Health
Organisation has announced.
West Africa is facing the largest
Ebola outbreak in history and more
than 1,900 people have died.
A global group of experts have been
meeting to assess the experimental
therapies that could contain Ebola.
The WHO also announced that Ebola
vaccines could be used on the
frontline by November.
An assistant director general at
WHO, Dr Marie Paule Kieny, said:
“We agreed that whole blood
therapies may be used to treat Ebola
virus and all efforts must be
invested to help infected countries
to use them.
“There is a real opportunity that a
blood derived product can be used
now and this can be very effective in
terms of treating patients.”
She said that it was the one positive
point from so many people being
infected.
“There are also many people now
who have survived and are doing
well, they can provide blood to treat
the other people who are sick,” she
added.
