WHO noted that the organization and, in particular, its director general Margaret Chan has no relation to the negotiations of Liberia and the United States. “Contact has been established directly between the two countries – the United States and Liberia. WHO in no way does not participate in this discussion,” – quoted by ITAR-TASS as saying WHO spokesman Fadela Shaib. Earlier, some media reported that Chen personally approved the sending of an experimental drug in Liberia, but this information, according to Shaib untrue.

“WHO has no stocks of medicines to be sent to needy countries. It is not our function. Decision to send the drug was taken directly to the country and the pharmaceutical company that produces the vaccine,” – explained Shaib.

Outbreaks began in February of this year in Guinea. Subsequently, the fever spread to Sierra Leone, Liberia and Nigeria. Last week, August 7, due to illness, the Liberian authorities have imposed a state of emergency. The majority of the total number of deaths from Ebola infection accounted for Guinea, Liberia and Sierra Leone – more than 300 in all cases. In Nigeria, a fever two people died.
