    "content": "also want to let you know that it is easier to control Ebola than to control HIV/AIDS. Because Ebola kills quickly, the only host dies with the disease. We should, however, get information on preparedness, border by border and not just at the airports, and at roads and beaches. Remember we have beaches where people land. In each place we need information on the screening measures in place, and the quarantine measures in place when people come in; let us know of preparedness levels for those who may get sick, the staff that we have, the equipment that we have, the drugs that we have, and those that treat the disease and those that treat other complications. With regard to the drug that treats the disease, as of now, there is only one drug which has not been tested in human beings, but WHO has approved its use. We want to know whether the Ministry has started the process of procuring it in case we need it. Most important, has the Ministry put in place a multi-sectoral task force? This disease is affecting every sector and not just the health sector. It affects transport, foreign affairs, immigration, security and trade. So, has the Ministry put in place a task force that includes all these people to give advice? That way, the decision of transport sector, which we are struggling with here will be made with the involvement of everybody. That way, we will get adequate information to help this country."
