ETHIOPIA VOLUNTEERS TO FIGHT EBOLA
ADDIS ABABA (AA) ? As many as 187 Ethiopian health workers who have volunteered to lend a hand in the fight against West Africa?s deadly Ebola outbreak are preparing to make their perilous trip.
?I volunteered because I want to put in whatever little contribution I can muster in the fight against Ebola. They are our sisters and brothers taking the brunt of the virus,? Dr. Aklilu Hailu told The Anadolu Agency on Monday.
Hailu and his colleagues were attending a farewell ceremony organized by the African Union (AU) Commission in appreciation for their help.
In October, the Ethiopian government pledged to assemble up to 200 health workers for the AU?s ?Support to Ebola Outbreak in West Africa? initiative, launched by the AU Commission?s Peace and Security Council.
