The World Health Organisations named Botswana’s Dr. Matshidiso Rebecca Moeti as head of its Africa office.

Chief executive of West African tourism Ola Wright says Africa is not a country, it’s a continent, warning that fear over Ebola in Guinea, Liberia and Sierra Leone was having a damaging impact on neighbouring countries.

Wright says the fear is more damaging than the actual problem.
