WHO Declares the West Africa Ebola Outbreak an Emergency

Eight months after the first cases in Guinea, the WHO declared the Ebola epidemic in West Africa a public health emergency of international concern. It became the largest Ebola outbreak in history: more than 28,000 cases and 11,000 deaths across Guinea, Liberia and Sierra Leone.

The emergency committee's declaration came on 8 August 2014, with the outbreak already spreading across borders and into capital cities. [S]
The 2013-2016 epidemic was the most widespread in the disease's history and hit health workers hardest of all. [S]
It produced the first licensed Ebola vaccine and a standing rapid-response system; the criticism of how slow the declaration was reshaped the WHO's emergency programme.
