The World Health Organisation (WHO) is working with the Health Ministry to formulate a "preparedness plan" to deal with Ebola, just in case there is an outbreak in the country.

"Preparation is a very critical aspect. WHO is working with the Ministry of Family Welfare and Planning to ensure that we put into place preparedness measures. It doesn't mean it is going to happen, but we are prepared if it happens," Asheena Khalakdina, Team Leader, Communicable Disease, WHO Country office for India said.
