Our technology in Oncology has improved tremendously past 15 years. Within 10 years, I think most of biologic/Biopharmaceutical/Biotech drugs hopefully be cheaper after some patent expires.
However, we are just getting into immunology and virology bandwagon. I think it will be about 15 to 20 years away from mass producing major infectious disese treatment which can reverse (not cure) the illness.
Ebola has too fast a burn cycle to be a true civilization ender. I'm betting on a highly antibiotic resistant strain of pneumonic plague or a particularly virulent strain of influenza as the next effective pandemic. Shit like Hanta virus is plenty lethal, but not nearly contagious enough to prevent effective quarantine. A faster moving MDR tuberculosis (say 30 days average lethality) might be pretty nasty as well.
