Ebola fighters named Time magazine’s ‘Person of the Year’ 2014
The countless doctors, nurses and caregivers at the forefront of battling one of the worst ever
outbreaks of the deadly Ebola virus, were on Wednesday collectively named as Time magazine’s 2014 ‘Person of the Year’.
The ‘Ebola fighters’ have been awarded for their “tireless acts of courage and mercy” and for “risking, persisting, sacrificing and saving”.
Time’s editors unveiled the winner of the annual honour selecting the Ebola fighters from an initial list of 50 world leaders, business heads and record-breaking artists that was narrowed down to a shortlist of eight this week.
“Ebola is a war, and a warning. The global health system is nowhere close to strong enough to keep us safe from infectious disease, and ‘us’ means everyone, not just those in faraway places where this is one threat among many that claim lives every day.

The annual honour, that has been bestowed by the magazine since 1927, goes to the person who “most influenced the news” during the year “for better or worse” Time said doctors working in the worst-hit countries in West Africa did not quit even as their colleagues fell ill and died and nurses comforted patients while standing in slurries of mud, vomit and feces.
