 World Bank Group President, Jim Yong Kim On November 4th, the World Bank President, Jim Yong Kim, called for Asia to send more trained health workers to Ebola-stricken West Africa. Mr. Jim Yong Kim said that the world was “losing the battle” against the Ebola virus because of a lack of international solidarity. Asian countries are not contributing enough to the global effort to fight Ebola, despite having a wealth of trained medical personnel, capable of stopping the spread of the deadly virus. Thousands of healthcare workers are needed to help combat the most deadly outbreak of Ebola since it’s first emergence and discovery in 1976. Addressing reporters in Seoul, Mr. Jim Yong Kim acclaimed the People’s Republic of Korea, China and Japan for sending medical workers to West Africa in the combat of fighting the Ebola outbreak. Currently, the People’s Republic of Korea has pledged to contribute USD5.6 million to combat the virus, and Japan and China have sent equipment or medical staff to the Ebola-stricken countries. China has so far donated USD123 million to 13 African countries and international organizations to combat Ebola, according to Beijing. The United Nations has also mobilized about USD500 million to support the fight against Ebola. The World Health Organization announced that the number of confirmed and suspected Ebola infections, mostly in West Africa, has reached more than 13,000, with the death toll at about 5,000 people mainly in the West African countries of Liberia, Guinea and Sierra Leone./. |
