It was the unanimous view of International Health Regulations Emergency Committee Regarding the 2014 Ebola Outbreak in West Africa that the conditions for a Public Health Emergency of International Concern (PHEIC) have been met.
On 6 August, WHO is convening an Emergency Committee of international experts to review the outbreak and advise the Director-General, in accordance with the International Health Regulations, whether the Ebola virus disease outbreak constitutes a Public Health Emergency of International Concern (PHEIC). Experts will receive an epidemiological briefing and will determine whether the criteria for a PHEIC have been met. If the Emergency Committee agrees that this is a PHEIC, they will then advise the Director-General on temporary recommendations.
