The CPC Central Committee and the State Council have given special attention to Ebola since its outbreak. They have been decisive in making decisions, rapidly conducted aid work deployments for Africa, and taken the lead in dealing out healthcare support, which is the biggest of its kind since the founding of modern China. To date, China has offered four continuous rounds of prevention and control supplies, emergency spot exchange and food, in total worth 750 million yuan, to affected countries in West Africa. Nearly 1,000 military medical and health workers have gone to West African countries to fight the epidemic. The Chinese medical teams have become an integral part of the local disease resistance force. China’s support has received positive reviews and widespread praise from the international community.
