Health officials oppose US plan to treat Ebola-exposed Americans overseas

Healthcare officials in ‌the US, including former Centers for Disease Control and Prevention officials, on Monday warned Congress against adopting a proposed policy to treat Americans exposed to Ebola in Kenya or countries in the European Union. The officials, including infectious disease physician Krutika Kuppalli, emergency physicians Debra Houry and Craig Spencer, and epidemiologist Anne Schuchat, argued in an open letter the policy would be a departure from the ‌longstanding practice of ‌medical repatriation and raise serious ‌clinical risks.
