Ebola crisis: Australia to staff treatment centre in Sierra Leone, Tony Abbott confirms


Prime Minister Tony Abbott has confirmed the Government will staff an Ebola treatment centre in Sierra Leone.
Mr Abbott said the Government would not deploy health workers but would contract a private company to send staff to the region.
More than 4,900 people have died, mostly in Guinea, Liberia and Sierra Leone, in the worst epidemic of Ebola since it was identified in 1976.
There have been no confirmed cases of Ebola in Australia, however a number of people have been tested after returning from West Africa.
