Ebola: Challenges for India
- n one sense, Peter Piot, a former World Health Organization (WHO) official and one of the discoverers of the Ebola virus, was right. He had expressed concerns about the deadly disease spreading to India. There are nearly 45,000 Indian nationals living in West Africa. The man whom India has quarantined after traces of the virus were detected in his semen happens to be an Indian working in Liberia which along with Sierra Leone and Guinea is the West African country most affected. The 26-year-old man arrived at the Delhi airport on Nov. 10.
