After returning from a visit to Ebola-hit countries, the United Nations Secretary General Ban Ki-moon said that the UN must learn lessons from the Ebola crisis and begin preparing now for the next outbreak of deadly disease.
Ban has also called for scaling up the recovery efforts in West Africa to rebuild shattered economies, get children back to school and begin caring for Ebola orphans. He also cited the need to trace the virus in remote areas of West Africa and looking at isolated chains of transmission.
The UN chief said, "We will launch a serious effort to explore what more we can do to stay ahead of the next outbreak of disease, a test that is sure to come."
