Abstract
On March 23, 2014, the Guinean Ministry of Health, in line with the International Health Regulations 2005, notified WHO and the world of an outbreak of Ebola virus disease (EVD). This followed laboratory confirmation of the disease by the Pasteur Institute in Dakar, Senegal (a WHO collaborating centre), in a 16-year-old girl from Guéckédou, a small village in southern Guinea.1 This was 10 years ago.
