EBOLA VIRUS: MISIONERS REPATRIATION... WELL DONE?

BY BRUNO FERNÁNDEZ #BTO1D
The most interesting but also alarming topic currently mentioned is the Ebola virus in Spain. Some people think that the health minister, Ana Mato, is the culpable of the nurse contagion because of the infected misioners repatriation. Do you want to know my opinion? Keep reading... 

First of all, I think that the repatriation of both people infected by this virus was highly recommended, as the patient can receive a better treatment here because of the Spanish infrastructures, and the access to be treated with several possible cures. 

On the other hand, I think that the hospital and health professionals were not prepared enough. Although Spanish infrastructures are better than African ones, they weren't as prepared as they were expected to be. Also, the people who work in hospital haven't received practical formation to face this problem. 

So all in all, I think that the repatriation was a good idea, but some important aspects have to be improved to avoid this situation in a near future.
