Well, it aint like doctors and nurses treat everyone who walks in the door with fever headache and a sore throat as if they have ebola. 
But what about the ones in Africa? I'm sure they knew what they were dealing with and were very cautious, and still got it.

As BHP pointed out. I would assume a few things are drivers.

1)Far more opportunities for safeguards to fail. A 98% safeguard is probably great if you only run into the occasional person with ebola. But, of course, as numbers grow.......

2)They don't have anything vaguely resembling the type facilities we do here so, it's probably a fair bet that they don't have 98% safeguards.
