Recently one of the world's deadliest known virus that has claimed over 5200 lives has reached Indian sub-continent. With mortality rate of upto 90% Ebola is turning out to be the nightmare for Indian healthcare professionals. Days after 26-year old male passenger from liberia flight whose semen was tested positive for Ebola virus, airport officials confirmed that there is a concern that virus might have escaped security check which brings us to next staggering question: Is India ready to fight Ebola? What should you know and what should you tell your family members about this disease? Is India ready to handle mass screening, tests and treatment of Ebola cases in the event of an outbreak for the viral illness which has been termed as the 'most serious health crisis in modern times' by World Health Organization (WHO)?

Ebola is a disease of humans and other primates caused by Ebolaviruses. Signs and symptoms typically start between two days and three weeks after contracting the virus as a fever, sore throat, muscle pain, and headaches. Then, vomiting, diarrhea and rash usually follow, along with decreased function of the liver and kidneys. At this time some people begin to bleed both internally and externally. Unlike swine flu, Ebola spreads by direct contact with an infected person's blood, secretions and other bodily fluids. From 1976 (when it was first identified) through 2013, the World Health Organisation reported 1,716 confirmed cases. The first known outbreak of EVD was identified in 1976 in South Sudan and was caused by Sudan virus (SUDV).

"Open and accurate education about Ebola is critically must for every Indian citizen to understand and protect themselves against this devastating diseases. The new education portal will be India's first online education web portal on Ebola and it brings together multiple perspectives from various sources – not all from one university or medical professional -- to ensure quality content and information" said Shub Joshi, Founder & CEO of Life Science Vision Healthcare Communications. He appealed to experts on Ebola and its prevention to contribute content to the "www.indiafightEbola.com" portal, which allows for social collaboration for users to promote awareness and share best practices with each other. World-class practitioners will monitor and contribute to the site to maintain high quality materials.
