The way to stop Ebola from spreading is to send more aid to West Africa, says Dr. Tim Jagatic of Windsor.

Jagatic has been to West Africa with Doctors Without Borders twice this year.

"If we can get more people helping these people; if we could get more doctors, more nurses, more outreach programs going on, and if we're able to distribute more soap, more chlorine, more masks, then we could really put an end to this thing," he said.

Ebola has killed at least 3,500 people in the current outbreak.

Jagatic says treatment centres are turning into palliative care centres and patients with early signs of Ebola are being turned away.

He says what ends up happening is that patients who can be treated end up being turned away from medical centres.

Jagatic also says more doctors and nurses on the ground are needed.

"It's really turning into a question of ethics for me, personally. Here we are knowing that we can treat this thing. There is a way for us to get people in and out quickly and we're simply not doing it," he said "So, really, it's mostly just frustration at this point."
