Okay what is the deal over there already? No medical clinics? People can't afford the medical clinics? They don't understand the disease and it's dangers?
There has to be a way of reaching the average West African to educate them about Ebola.
The USA first made the mistake with HIV by not distributing Spanish leaflets of information and educating about condoms. The Hispanic population in the USA suffered greater infection and death because of it. When Social Workers finally educated the Spanish speaking people in the USA the infections slowed and stopped.
What is it already in West Africa? Too many languages, then print fliers in all languages. People don't read, then prepare videos in their native language that can be viewed on screens from a mobile trailer. People are too distracted, then their leaders need to instill the fear of god(s) in them and tell them if they don't learn about Ebola and how to detect and prevent it they will ultimately die.
There has to be some methods of having the civilians in West Africa understand their own mortality with this virus. A symptomatic child was allowed to simply be sick? People don't appreciate their own lives if they can't understand the need for compassion for a child that is symptomatic needing emergency care.
Their lives may seem hard and impossible, but, Ebola will cause hardship they never bargained for.

The authorities in Mali (click here) have confirmed the death of the country's first Ebola patient, a two-year-old girl.
The World Health Organisation said the toddler had travelled hundreds of kilometres by bus from Guinea through Mali showing symptoms of the disease.
More than 40 people known to have come into contact with her have been quarantined.
The girl was being treated in the western town of Kayes, after arriving at a hospital on Wednesday.
The child had travelled more than 1,000 km (600 miles) from Guinea through the capital, Bamako, to Kayes.
"The child's symptomatic state during the bus journey is especially concerning, as it presented multiple opportunities for exposures, including high-risk exposures, involving many people," the WHO said.
The girl's mother died in Guinea a few weeks ago and the child was then brought by relatives to Mali.
