Abstract: Several countries in western Africa are currently contending with the world's deadliest Ebola outbreak. Recently World Health Organisation has declared the Ebola virus is spreading exponentially across Liberia as patients fill taxis in a fruitless search for medical cares. “When patients are turned away at Ebola treatment centers, they have no choice but to return to their communities and homes, where they inevitably infect others, perpetuating constantly higher flare-ups in the number of cases.” Healthcare workers are being especially hard hit there. “Some 152 health care workers have been infected and 79 have died,” WHO said. When the outbreak began, Liberia had only one doctor to treat nearly 100,000 people in a total population of 4.4 million people. Every infection or death of a doctor or nurse depletes response capacity significantly.” In developed countries that hit a bit closer over the past week, three hospitals in New York City have isolated and tested patients suspected of potential Ebola infection. Though condition is not same elsewhere men are looking solitary as no licensed vaccine for EVD yet is available. Several vaccines are being tested, but none are available for clinical use. No specific treatment is available. Only measures are, severely ill patients require intensive supportive care, patients are frequently dehydrated and require oral rehydration with solutions containing electrolytes or intravenous fluids. In the absence of effective treatment and a human vaccine, raising awareness of the risk factors for Ebola infection and the protective measures individuals can take is the only way to reduce human infection and death. Considering the gravity of situation here auther has taken an attempt to highlight the situation so that doctor, resaercher come forward to explore their afforts for saving homusepience from an epidamic. Here attempt also to aware People to come forward with preventive measures; as from history author believes social men is the first to invent ways to combat odds for its existence.
