Summary
a second, often overlooked, the public health crisis is brewing in the most affected countries by the Ebola virus, epidemiologists warn. The Ebola epidemic has already devastated the weak public health systems and childhood vaccinations disturbed Liberia, Guinea and Sierra Leone. Therefore, unless measures are taken quickly, preventable childhood diseases are likely to soar. Measles, in particular, is considered a sentinel of a broken health care system, often hitting early and hard after a disaster.
