CONCLUSION

Overall the review shows that the indirect effects of the ebola outbreak is substantial. 

​

All studies show a decrease in health service provision.

​

Morality and morbidity rates have also increased since the outbreak.

​

The increased pressure that the outbreak has caused has increased the burden of malaria leading to more fatalities. 

​

By May 2015 1.45% of Guinea's, 8.07% of Liberia's and 6.85% of Sierra Leone's doctors, nurses and midwives have died from Ebola.

​

​

In conclusion understanding the damage that the West Africa Ebola outbreak has had directly and indirectly will hopefully increase resistance in future outbreaks. Especially those of heath care systems as the indirect effects have more detrimental and longer lasting implications
