The author seems to have foreseen that response and gone to pains to point out gratuitous bureaucracy, such as the requirement to wait almost a year to bring new medical staff on to combat the ebola epidemic.
>> "the requirement to wait almost a year to bring new medical staff on to combat the ebola epidemic."
Are you getting this from another source because it doesn't seem to be mentioned in the article. It mentions taking several weeks to process the forms of a medical worker they needed to see at headquarters. The recruitment system that may take a year to hire someone seems to be a separate issue. I wish the author had went into more detail on that because it's very vague. What is the hiring process? Are two or three interview spread over a year? Do you have to interview several hundred people for a position? It's hard to place any importance on the statistic without more information.
