Ebola-Black Market In Blood Serum Emerge

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.
