Chinese President Xi Jinping, on Thursday in New Delhi, announced $32.54m aid package for Liberia, Sierra Leone and Guinea to combat the Ebola disease.
He said during his state visit to India that the aid would include cash, food and materials.
Jinping said his country would also provide the World Health Organisation with $2m in cash and give the African Union the same amount to fight the disease.
He said the spread of Ebola in West Africa has been a severe challenge for the international community, including China and India.
Jinping said the new package was aimed at helping the three affected West African countries fight the disease and enhance epidemic prevention capability of surrounding countries.
He said it would also support regional organisations concerned to play a leading and coordinating role in fighting the epidemic.
