	Analysis on the Risk of Ebola — This is an analysis on an evaluation of the mortality and morbidity risk of Ebola to life and health insurance companies1 . The actuarial profession has played an active role in developing models and advising on the impact of epidemics on mortality and morbidity risks, particularly in the context of the HIV/AIDS epidemic in the 1980s and beyond. Whilst this does not go into the same level of detail or sophistication, the aim of this high-level analysis is to assist actuaries working for or consulting with life or health insurance companies on evaluating the risk of an Ebola epidemic to their companies or clients.
