Technology Fighting Infectious Diseases

In the fight to keep Ebola from spreading in this country, health officials are employing the most advanced technology.

This week President Obama appointed an Ebola czar to coordinate the Ebola response efforts.
A czar is a top level presidential nominee who does not have to be approved by the senate.

This person acts as an advisor to the president and oversees a particular issue or area of policy. The Ebola czar is Ron Klain, a former white house advisor who will now serve as an advisor to the president.
