Allow experimental drugs free of cost in Ebola virus diseases

In the absence of effective treatment and a human vaccine, raising awareness of the risk factors for Ebola infection and the protective measures individuals can take is the only way to reduce human infection and death. But if patients or their family members are willing to have the experimental drugs as treatment for Ebola virus infection we can allow the new and experimental medications FREE of cost.
