A new trend has emerged in Ebola ravaged West Africa as Bloomberg reports
that a black market for treatment of the virus derived from the blood
survivors. This is according to the World Health
Organization, which earlier gave indication that this could be possible.
The WHO will work with governments to wipe out the illicit
trade in convalescent serum, according to the Director-General Margaret Chan
who spoke to reporters in Geneva today. However, there is a danger that such
serums could contain other infections and wouldn’t be administered properly,
Chan said.
