The battle against Ebola has already reduced the health systems in affected countries to struggling. What is being done to treat those infected and stop the disease from spreading?

　　Here we show how an Ebola treatment facility run by medical charity Medecins Sans Frontieres (MSF) operates.

　　The treatment centre is designed to separate confirmed Ebola patients from probable or likely cases.

　　Upon entry, patients are examined by medical staff protected by full protective equipment.

　　Following the initial diagnosis (诊断), they are then split into low or high probability wards until the laboratory results come in, which could take anything from a few hours to days, depending on the facility.

　　There is little that medical workers can do for their patients, as there is no cure for Ebola. All they can help with is to care for the patients and treat symptoms, as well as wash and comfort them.

　　According to MSF, good care increases the chances of survival from a disease that has a 50% death rate. However, overcrowded facilities and a shortage of staff have made this difficult so far.

　　________________________

　　When coming into contact with patients, or entering areas where contamination (污染) risk is high, medical workers always use special protective equipment and follow special procedures.

　　Medical staff are advised to wear the equipment for no longer than an hour at a time due to the high temperatures that can build up in the suit.
