Ebola Outbreak Taking Its Toll on Doctors Without Borders
Published at
P.K. Lee/MSF(GENEVA) — Doctors Without Borders is paying a heavy price in treating Ebola.
The Geneva-based group tells ABC News that since the outbreak began in March, it has sent over 700 staff to the affected countries, working alongside roughly 3,000 nationals. Of all of those, two dozen have been infected and 13 have died.
In every staff infection case, Doctors Without Borders conducts a thorough investigation. It has found that most of those who contracted Ebola did so while away from work.
