The World Health Organization is sending more experts to help Mali fight #Ebola, a day after the first case of the disease was confirmed there. Malian authorities say a two-year-old girl who had travelled to neighbouring Guinea was infected making Mali the sixth West African country to be touched by the worst outbreak on record, which has killed almost 4,900 people. A WHO team of three experts has been in Mali evaluating its defences, and at least four more would go there over the next few days, WHO spokeswoman Fadela Chaib said. Malian authorities are monitoring 43 people who have been in contact with the girl, including 10 health workers, she said.
