The failure to manage the 2014 Ebola outbreak that caused more than 20.000 deaths in Liberia, Sierra Leone and Guinea, is mostly linked to the resistance of the population to the protection measures recommended by the response teams. This article reveals at first, the flaws in the health communication policy carried out by organizations and leaders in the countries affected by the Ebola outbreak during this period. Secondly, this article proposes the key to an appropriate and fair communication or sensitization.
