- W1567306980 abstract "As this editorial goes to press, the expanding African Ebola outbreak is a rapidly evolving international health and humanitarian crisis. Indeed, on October 13, 2014, the World Health Organization issued a warning that the current Ebola outbreak represents ‘‘the most severe, acute health emergency seen in modern times’’. In addition to the accounts of dehumanizing suffering and loss of life (i.e., mortality rates estimated to be 70% in West Africa), the outbreak is growing with an estimated 10,000 new cases appearing per week. This healthcare crisis demands attentive response and resources from all levels of governmental and non-governmental organizations. The World Bank estimates that, if the crisis is limited to even 200,000 cases, the economic costs will exceed 32 billion dollars; if it extends into 2015, the economies of West Africa will contract significantly. Thus, the crisis not only threatens to wipe out large swaths of an already impoverished African population, but it also further threatens to fragment their countries’ already fragile economies and governments. Recent reports of the disease spreading to Europe and North America have added to the complexity and urgency of the growing Ebola situation. Though the number of infected patients reported pales in comparison with its thousands of African victims, additional concern has been voiced regarding the growing risk to healthcare workers. There have now been a number of documented cases of transmission from patients to healthcare workers, both in North America and abroad this despite the advantages offered by our first-world modern healthcare facilities. North American nurses and physicians have very limited knowledge of the disease and its implications. Prior Ebola outbreaks in remote reaches of Africa over the past few decades have been largely self-limited, evoking little concern in most Western healthcare workers. Now, with documented spread to Western Europe and North America, a lack of both knowledge and preparedness is increasingly provoking anxiety amongst hospital administrators and staff alike. In an effort to provide information on the disease and its management, this issue of the Journal features an article by Funk and Kumar that serves to provide a comprehensive" @default.
