Report: Ebola Countries Lose More to Tax Dodging than They Spend on Health 
---------------------------------------------------------------------------


 
A new report says the three Ebola-stricken countries have lost more
money to corporate tax dodging than they spend on public health.
According to Action Aid, Liberia, Sierra Leone and Guinea "lost an
estimated $287.6 million through corporate tax dodging in 2011 while
spending just $237 million on healthcare. An African Union report
earlier this year found tax dodging costs the continent up to $60
billion each year.
