Médecins Sans Frontières' Response to Ebola Outbreak
The motion
That the Parliament acknowledges the work of Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF), which it understands is the world’s leading emergency medical and humanitarian aid organisation, in tackling the recent outbreak of Ebola that was declared in the Magina province of the Democratic Republic of Congo on 2 August 2018; understands that 124 cases were confirmed, which sadly resulted in 84 deaths; recognises that, by 14 August, MSF had constructed a treatment centre with the capacity to care for 74 people; pays tribute to MSF on treating 65 people within the first month of its intervention, and applauds it on the aid that it continues to deliver in over 60 countries to people affected by armed conflict, epidemics and natural or man-made disasters.
