Obama had last week declared the Ebola outbreak as a "global threat" which demands "a truly global response."
Speaking on September 16 at Centers for
Disease Control and Prevention in Atlanta, he had outlined the US
Government's strategy to address the threat from the worsening Ebola
epidemic in West Africa.
The four goals of that strategy are
controlling the epidemic at its source in West Africa; mitigating
second-order impacts, including blunting the economic, social and
political tolls in the region; engaging and coordinating with a broader
global audience; and fortifying global health security infrastructure in
the region and beyond.
"Even as we lead, the President
emphasized at the CDC the need for more nations to contribute the
experienced personnel, supplies and funding," the State Department
Spokesperson, Jen
Psaki, said.
"Powell, working with leaders from across
our government, is leading our efforts to build the coalition required
to bring this epidemic under control," she said.
