"The international system needs to fix the failures which became all too apparent in the inadequacy of the response to the disease in the early months of 2014. In this regard, the European Union is setting up a European Medical Corps through which medical teams and equipment from our Member States can be deployed swiftly to deal with future health emergencies," the communique reads.
Earlier in the day, EU Commissioner for Humanitarian Aid and Crisis Management Christos Stylianides said that medical corps should be created to be deployed when the major health crisis strike.
