It has been one of the biggest stories of 2014 and it does not look like it is going anywhere.
The Ebola crisis in West Africa has killed thousands of people and it will continue to do so in 2015.
Given the Ebola story has been a constant on the news for the best part of a year, some of the interest has gone. But ignoring the disease is fraught with danger.
On a US talk show recently, White House Ebola response coordinator Ron Klain warned the world against complacency.
“I think we’re nearing a pivot point in this, where the number of new cases overall in West Africa has somewhat stabilized,” he said.
“But this won’t be done until we get all the way to zero. It’s like a forest fire: a few embers burning, and the thing can reignite at any time.”
