So far it seems like quality of medical facilities & care is far more important than the availability of drugs. I think even without the drugs, if all of the original patients had access to great hospitals, this wouldn't have spread the way it has. Unfortunately those resources simply do not exist in the affected countries.

I'm all for effectively unlimited money from the first world to help pay for a response to this outbreak, but even if there was unlimited resources you can't just build up a whole medical infrastructure with the snap of your fingers.
