United Nations - Ebola Update by Stéphane Dujarric, Spokesman for the Secretary-General.
Ebola Update -------------
And on Ebola, the Secretary-General spoke at the General Assembly this morning and discussed recent progress in the fight against the spread of Ebola.
He said that strong national leadership combined with local community engagement and international support is slowing the incidence of new cases in many places. Liberia, once the worst affected country, has seen the most dramatic improvements.
The Secretary-General said that the outbreak has taught us that there is no room for complacency. We have also learned that our response must evolve to match the increasingly dispersed pattern of the outbreak.
And he made a special appeal today to national stakeholders, community leaders, response partners and Member States: Stay engaged and sustain this effort. The Secretary-General said it is crucial to ensure that there are sufficient resources to eliminate the disease and ensure recovery. His full remarks are in my office.
Also briefing the General Assembly was Ismail Ould Cheikh Ahmed, the head of the UN emergency Ebola response mission, UNMEER, as well as Dr. David Nabarro, the Secretary-General’s special envoy for Ebola.
