ADDIS ABABA, Ethiopia, Oct. 28 (UPI) -- World Bank President Jim Yong Kim made an emotional plea Tuesday for at least 5,000 more medical workers to volunteer to contain the Ebola virus in West Africa.
"Right now, I'm very much worried about where we will find those healthcare workers. With the fear factor going out of control in so many places, I hope healthcare professionals will understand that when they took their oath to become a health care worker it was precisely for moments like this," he said while on a trip to Ethiopia with U.N. Secretary General Ban Ki-moon and African Union chairwoman Nkosazana Dlamini-Zuma.
