The Ebola outbreak in West Africa is unlike anything since the emergence of
HIV/Aids, top US medical official Thomas Frieden has said.</p>
<p style="color:rgb(51,51,51);line-height:18px;margin:0px 0px 18px;padding:0px;font-size:1.077em;clear:left;">
A fast global response could ensure that it did not become "the next Aids," the
director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) said.</p>
<p style="color:rgb(51,51,51);line-height:18px;margin:0px 0px 18px;padding:0px;font-size:1.077em;clear:left;">
The presidents of Liberia, Sierra Leone and Guinea appealed for more aid to
help fight the disease.</p>
<p style="color:rgb(51,51,51);line-height:18px;margin:0px 0px 18px;padding:0px;font-size:1.077em;clear:left;">
The outbreak has killed more than 3,860 people, mainly in West Africa.</p>
<p style="color:rgb(51,51,51);line-height:18px;margin:0px 0px 18px;padding:0px;font-size:1.077em;clear:left;">
More than 200 health workers are among the victims.</p>

At the meeting in Washington, Dr Frieden described Ebola as one of the biggest
crises he had seen in his career.</p>
<p style="color:rgb(51,51,51);line-height:18px;margin:0px 0px 18px;padding:0px;font-size:1.077em;clear:left;">
"I would say that in the 30 years I've been working in public health, the only
thing like this has been Aids," he said.</p>
<p style="color:rgb(51,51,51);line-height:18px;margin:0px 0px 18px;padding:0px;font-size:1.077em;clear:left;">
The presidents of Liberia, Sierra Leone and Guinea - the three countries worst
affected by Ebola - appealed for more aid.</p>
<p style="color:rgb(51,51,51);line-height:18px;margin:0px 0px 18px;padding:0px;font-size:1.077em;clear:left;">
"Our people are dying," Sierra Leone's leader Ernest Bai Koroma said, adding
that the world was not responding fast enough as children were being
orphaned.</p>

The EU has announced plans for a system to evacuate international staff from
Ebola-infected countries if they show signs of the disease.</p>
<p style="color:rgb(51,51,51);line-height:18px;margin:0px 0px 18px;padding:0px;font-size:1.077em;clear:left;">
The evacuation system will allow patients to be flown within 48 hours to
European hospitals "that are equipped to deal with the disease," a statement
from the European commission said.</p>
<p style="color:rgb(51,51,51);line-height:18px;margin:0px 0px 18px;padding:0px;font-size:1.077em;clear:left;">
The move is expected to make it easier to deploy European medical workers to

thorough hand hygiene before donning a new pair. Heavy duty gloves are used
whenever workers need to handle infectious waste.</p>
