WHAT IS EBOLA?
Ebola disease (formerly Ebola haemorrhagic fever) is a severe, often fatal viral illness caused by Orthoebolaviruses. It most commonly affects humans and non-human primates such as monkeys, gorillas, and chimpanzees.


  file_00000000f10871fa98e6566f9af76a21.png (Size: 1.86 MB / Downloads: 1)

Virus species causing human illness:

1. Ebola virus (Zaire strain) — most common and most lethal; responsible for the 2014 West Africa epidemic
   
2. Sudan virus
   
3. Taï Forest virus
   
4. Bundibugyo virus — the strain causing the current 2026 outbreak
   

Transmission:
Ebola spreads through direct contact with blood or body fluids (urine, saliva, sweat, faeces, vomit, breast milk, semen) of an infected or deceased person.
It is not airborne. Healthcare workers are at high risk due to occupational exposure, especially where IPC measures are inadequate.

Incubation Period:
2 to 21 days (average 8–10 days). A person is not contagious during this period.

Clinical Features:

• Early phase: Sudden fever, severe headache, muscle pain, weakness, sore throat
  
• Progressive phase: Vomiting, diarrhoea, rash
  
• Severe phase: Unexplained bleeding or bruising (in some cases)
  

Case Fatality Rate:
Bundibugyo strain: ~30% to 50% (based on past outbreaks)

DoctorsDuty.com is an independent platform dedicated to medicolegal excellence and occupational health practice — connecting clinicians, legal professionals with the expertise they need to navigate complex health and duty-of-care matters.
 
------------------------------------------------------------
OUR STORY
------------------------------------------------------------
 
DoctorsDuty.com was founded by practising physicians with experience at the intersection of medicine, law, and workplace health. We recognised a consistent gap: legal teams needed clearer medical opinion, employers needed accessible occupational health guidance, and clinicians needed a trusted space to develop medicolegal skills.
 
This platform was created to bridge that gap — providing independent, rigorous, and practical resources for every professional who depends on sound medical judgement to do their job well.
 
Whether you are instructing an expert witness, managing a complex fitness-for-work case, or seeking CPD-quality clinical discussion, DoctorsDuty.com is designed to support you.
 
------------------------------------------------------------
WHAT WE DO
------------------------------------------------------------
 
MEDICOLEGAL SERVICES
Expert medical opinion for litigation, personal injury, clinical negligence, and coronial proceedings — delivered to the standards required by the courts and regulatory bodies.
 
OCCUPATIONAL HEALTH
Fitness-for-work assessments, workplace health management, and evidence-based guidance to help organisations fulfil their duty of care and support employee wellbeing.
 
------------------------------------------------------------
WHO WE SERVE
------------------------------------------------------------
 
MEDICAL PROFESSIONALS
Physicians, GPs, and specialists seeking medicolegal education, expert witness guidance, and occupational medicine resources for
professional development.
 
LEGAL PROFESSIONALS
Solicitors and barristers who need clear, court-ready expert medical opinion and a reliable point of access to qualified clinical expertise.
 
EMPLOYERS & HR PROFESSIONALS
Organisations navigating attendance management, reasonable adjustments, fitness for work, and their statutory duty of care under employment
and health & safety law.
 
------------------------------------------------------------
OUR VALUES
------------------------------------------------------------
 
CLINICAL INDEPENDENCE
Our opinions are formed on medical evidence alone — free from commercial pressure or instructing-party influence.
 
PROFESSIONAL RIGOUR
We adhere to GMC Good Medical Practice, Faculty of Occupational Medicine standards.
 
ACCESSIBILITY
Complex medical and legal concepts deserve clear explanation. We communicate in a way that serves both clinical and non-clinical
audiences.
 
CONTINUING EDUCATION
Through our forum and teaching case library, we support clinicians in developing the medicolegal skills needed for modern practice.
 
CONFIDENTIALITY
All information is handled with the same discretion expected of any professional medical context, in line with UK data protection law.
 
IMPARTIALITY
Our duty is to the court, to the truth, and to the patient — never to a single instructing party. We hold this principle as non-negotiable.
 
 
------------------------------------------------------------
OUR FOUNDING PRINCIPLE
------------------------------------------------------------
 
"A doctor's duty does not end at the clinic door — it extends into every arena where health, work, and the law intersect."
 
------------------------------------------------------------
GET IN TOUCH
------------------------------------------------------------
 
Whether you need a medicolegal report, occupational health input,
or have a question for our clinical team — we are here to help.

DoctorsDuty.com was founded by practising physicians with experience at the intersection of medicine, law, and workplace health. We recognised a consistent gap: legal teams needed clearer medical opinion, employers needed accessible occupational health guidance, and clinicians needed a trusted space to develop medicolegal skills.
 
This platform was created to bridge that gap — providing independent, rigorous, and practical resources for every professional who depends on sound medical judgement to do their job well.
 
Whether you are instructing an expert witness, managing a complex fitness-for-work case, or seeking CPD-quality clinical discussion, DoctorsDuty.com is designed to support you.
 
------------------------------------------------------------

------------------------------------------------------------
OUR VALUES
------------------------------------------------------------
 
CLINICAL INDEPENDENCE
Our opinions are formed on medical evidence alone — free from commercial pressure or instructing-party influence.
 
PROFESSIONAL RIGOUR
We adhere to GMC Good Medical Practice, Faculty of Occupational Medicine standards.
 
ACCESSIBILITY
Complex medical and legal concepts deserve clear explanation. We communicate in a way that serves both clinical and non-clinical
audiences.
 
CONTINUING EDUCATION
Through our forum and teaching case library, we support clinicians in developing the medicolegal skills needed for modern practice.
 
CONFIDENTIALITY
All information is handled with the same discretion expected of any professional medical context, in line with UK data protection law.
 
IMPARTIALITY
Our duty is to the court, to the truth, and to the patient — never to a single instructing party. We hold this principle as non-negotiable.
 
 
------------------------------------------------------------
OUR FOUNDING PRINCIPLE
------------------------------------------------------------
 
"A doctor's duty does not end at the clinic door — it extends into every arena where health, work, and the law intersect."
 
------------------------------------------------------------
GET IN TOUCH
------------------------------------------------------------
