The government of India is hardly "backwater medical establishments".

Have your day while I am paying for what you do.

Ebola has been killing people since the 70's and a few people have survived it (20%), and the long term effects are horrible regardless of your zip code. And if you think the American medical system (I assume that is what you must refer to as "headwater medical establishments") can provide first rate care for hundreds of ebola patients at a time, you are nuts.

“The government of India is hardly “backwater medical establishments”. “

While two of the links you provided may be from Indian
sources they are talking about health care in Kenema, Sierra Leone, Africa.

There may be international organizations from competent countries in Africa trying to provide quality health care, but that is different. For months people were turned away from these clinics because there was not enough room. Within some of the articles you could see that some of the people involved did not get any treatment until they were very far along, having symptoms of hemorrhaging.

Compare that to America where Nurse Nina was monitoring her temperature daily and at the first sign of a fever she began getting care. Once you are to the point of hemorrhaging and THEN get care, your chances of survival are low and your chances of permanent damage way up.
