The EU Monday expressed grave concern by the Ebola epidemic in West Africa, where the situation continues to deteriorate.
"The EU has increased its response on several occasions since the outbreak of the epidemic and has so far pledged almost 150 million euro to help the affected countries" EU Commissioner for Development, Andris Piebalgs, EU Commissioner for Humanitarian Aid, Kristalina Georgieva and EU Commissioner for Health, Tonio Borg, said in a joint statement after an High Level Meeting in Brussels to coordinate the EU response to the Ebola outbreak in West Africa.
"We welcome the contributions made already by our EU Member States through the European Union Civil Protection Mechanism. We call on them to continue and strengthen their support to the region in order to respond to pressing needs such as effective treatment centres, sufficient numbers of health workers, and ensuring macro-economic stability," said the statement.
"We will also do our utmost to align to the priorities identified and coordinated by the WHO," it added.
