Senegal: Prevention and protection against the Ebola virus epidemic in endangered border areas

The project approach integrates several components of preventive measures against the spread of EBV. On the one hand, it aims at training health staff in the region regarding the key facts, identification and transmission of EBV. Health posts in the targeted area are equipped with hygiene and protection kits. On the other hand, the project focuses on sensitisation and social mobilization of the targeted communities by informing and educating the general public about the nature of the disease, the containment strategy and required behavior during the epidemic.
