World Health Organization’s Response to Ebola

We are doing a project on World Health Organization (WHO) response to the Ebola outbreak and how this compares to other emergency responses or the effectiveness of WHO facilities in central Africa after an emergency has been addressed ( focusing on prevention efforts).

3) What policy or policies address or are related to the public health issue, etc.
a) Has the agency implemented any policies to address respective health
