The current Ebola virus disease (Ebola) epidemic in West Africa is unprecedented in size and duration. Since the outbreak was recognized in March 2014, the World Health Organization (WHO) has reported 17,145 cases with 6,070 deaths, primarily in Guinea, Liberia, and Sierra Leone. Combined data show a case-fatality rate of approximately 70% in patients with a recorded outcome; a 30% survival rate means that thousands of patients have survived Ebola. An important component of a comprehensive Ebola response is the reintegration of Ebola survivors into their communities.
当前西非的埃博拉病毒病(埃博拉)疫情在规模和持续时间上都是前所未有的。自2014年3月疫情被确认以来,世界卫生组织(WHO)已报告17145例病例,其中6070人死亡,主要集中在几内亚、利比里亚和塞拉利昂。综合数据显示,有记录结果的患者病死率约为70%;30%的存活率意味着数千名患者从埃博拉疫情中存活了下来。全面应对埃博拉疫情的一个重要组成部分是让埃博拉幸存者重新融入他们的社区。
