Since the first outbreak in 1976, Ebola hemorrhagic fever has attracted great attention due to its high fatality rate. The 2014 epidemic has caused more than 6 800 deaths. The impact of Ebola is not only related to etiology and epidemiology in West Africa, but also to regional and global politics, economy, culture, health status as well. With global support, including from China, the joint efforts led by international organizations and West Africa are making progress on effective measures to control and treat the epidemic.
