The Council also reached agreement on Ebola care and medevac for those tackling Ebola in the region.<\/p>\n<p>Foreign Secretary Philip Hammond said:<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe all need to do more to support the fight against Ebola and I\u2019m pleased that EU Foreign Ministers explicitly recognised that necessity.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI am also delighted to have secured an agreement to have a coordinated approach to Ebola care and medevac. This agreement will give international health workers responding to the Ebola crisis the assurances they need that they will receive the very best care possible, should they contract Ebola.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe UK has so far committed \u00a3125 million to this effort and I\u2019m delighted that EU Foreign Ministers welcomed the leading role that the UK, the US and France, are playing.\u201d<\/p>\n<h3 id=\"further-information\">Further information<\/h3>\n<p>Follow the Foreign Secretary on Twitter: <a rel=\"external\" href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/PHammondMP\" title=\"Foreign Secretary on Twitter\">@PHammondMP<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Follow the Foreign Office on <a rel=\"external\" href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/foreignoffice\" title=\"FCO on Twitter\">Twitter<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Follow the Foreign Office on <a rel=\"external\" href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/foreignoffice\" title=\"FCO on Facebook\">Facebook<\/a> &amp; <a href=\"http:\/\/plus.google.com\/+foreignoffice\/posts%22FCO%20on%20Google+%22\">Google+<\/a>.<\/p>\n<div class=\"contact\" id=\"contact_193\">\n<div class=\"content\">\n<h3>Media enquiries<\/h3>\n<div class=\"vcard contact-inner\">\n<div class=\"email-url-number\">\n<p class=\"email\">\n              <span class=\"type\">Email<\/span><br \/>\n              <a class=\"email\" href=\"mailto:newsdesk@fco.gov.uk\">newsdesk@fco.gov.uk<\/a>\n            <\/p>\n<p class=\"tel\">\n              <span class=\"type\">News Desk <\/span><br \/>\n              020 7008 3100\n            <\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Foreign Secretary welcomes EU commitment to do more on Ebola, including care guarantee to Ebola Responders.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":8,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[13],"tags":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/mostafa.openonline.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/48997"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/mostafa.openonline.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/mostafa.openonline.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mostafa.openonline.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/8"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mostafa.openonline.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=48997"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/mostafa.openonline.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/48997\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/mostafa.openonline.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=48997"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mostafa.openonline.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=48997"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mostafa.openonline.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=48997"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
