While the priority is to stop the Ebola outbreak, measures must also ensure that the emergency response is linked to longer-term efforts to strengthen health systems in those countries hit the hardest, President of the United Nations Economic and Social Council (ECOSOC) said today.

Navid Hanif, Director of the ECOSOC Support and Coordination/Department of Economic and Social Affairs (DESA) delivered the statement on behalf of the ECOSOC President, Martin Sajdik, during the daily press briefing at UN Headquarters in New York.
