The overall survival rate of the current Ebola outbreak, the largest in history with more than 9,200 confirmed or suspected cases, is around 50 percent, according to the World Health Organization. That's a better outcome than most previous outbreaks, many of which had survival rates less than 30 percent. Sierra Leone’s survival rate is currently about 65 percent.
