The Ebola outbreak

Hi,

 

As the school is organizing a market to raise money to fight Ebola, I'd like you to listen to this documentary from 6 minute English.

The Ebola virus has killed hundreds of people in West Africa. The World Health Organisation has allowed the use of drugs which have not been fully tested.

Rob and Feifei discuss the use of these new drugs on patients. Who gets the drug? Who is to blame if they feel worse? Listen to the programme.

a) 1966

b) 1976 or
