想定質問

Do you think international cooperation is necessary to control infectious diseases?

回答

Yes, I do. Ebola outbreaks occur from time to time in Africa, but the current outbreak is reported to be one of the worst on record, with the second-highest death toll. This is partly due to a lack of international support and the fact that other global issues have overshadowed the crisis facing affected countries. To prevent the infection from spreading further, border health controls must be strengthened, the safety of medical staff must be ensured, and countries must share accurate and timely information.
