Providing emergency medical aid in areas that have been ravaged by military conflict, natural disasters, and widespread disease, Doctors Without Borders (DWB) conducts humanitarian rescue missions all around the world. Since March of 2014, the organization has treated 470 patients in West Africa, 215 of them confirmed cases of Ebola. DWB is also active on the governmental and public relations front, lobbying for a “massive deployment of resources by regional governments and aid agencies.” DWB’s director of operations in West Africa, Dr. Bart Janssens, warns that the epidemic is currently raging out of control. As the epidemic spreads throughout Sierra Leone, Guinea, and Liberia, DWB resources have been stretched to the limit, leaving the charity unable to deploy medical teams to new outbreak sites.
