title: Ebola therapy and health equity.
abstract: Current care for Ebola patients in resource poor countries is hampered by a lack of resources to isolate patients and their close contacts. The current Ebola epidemic offers the opportunity to harvest convalescent serum to help contain this and future outbreaks. A systemic and just process to accomplish this goal can incorporate procedures to improve care for current Ebola patients and their close contacts.
