TOPSHOTS Patients wait to be attended at the Tuberculosis wing of Mbagathi district hospital on October 17, 2014 below a poster carrying information on prevention and handling of suspected Ebola cases. Kenyan doctors have stated that more needs to be done to minimise the growing risk of transmission of the Ebola disease even as East African nations of Burundi, Kenya, Rwanda Tanzania and Uganda are sending over 600 health workers including 41 doctors to west Africa, the regional five-nation bloc said in a statement Friday. The decision was made after health ministers met this week, where they raised their concern at the rapid increase in the number of cases and deaths with 4,493 people having died out of a total of 8,997 cases in the outbreak, according to the WHO, which has warned that the infection rate could reach 10,000 a week by early December.
