"In a single decade, the world has transformed Ebola from a global emergency to a disease that can be stopped in its tracks," said Dr Richard Hatchett, CEO of the Coalition for Epidemic Preparedness Innovations (CEPI). Dr Hatchett said, a few weeks ago, Ebola vaccines from MSD (known as Merck & Co. in the U.S. and Canada) were announced just days after an outbreak of the deadly disease was declared in the Democratic Republic of the Congo.
