Former United Nations’ secretary-general, Kofi Anan, has stated that the dreaded Ebola virus disease (EVD) is receiving less attention than other epidemics because it is considered a “poor man’s disease”.

In an interview with the international media, Annan blamed the vast spread and lack of action towards Ebola on the fact that it developed in the “poor” part of the world.

Annan opined that the best way to stop the virus was restricting it to West Africa and solving it there.

The Nobel Peace Prize winner also pushed for more support in terms of funding and the movement of health workers towards the affected countries.

Anan regretted the degree of action and response which the break-out of the disease was getting and specified that the “West has done better in less worse situations”.
