On 23 March 2014, the World Health Organization confirmed an outbreak of Ebola virus disease in Guinea. By August 2014, a delayed international response resulted in an unprecedented humanitarian emergency occurring in Guinea, Liberia and Sierra Leone. In this outbreak, over 26,000 people have been infected with Ebola virus and more than 10,000 have died. Médecins Sans Frontières led the emergency response on the ground treating over 5,000 confirmed cases of Ebola. This article reflects on challenges faced working in an Ebola treatment centre and what future research may offer.
