Gambia: UN Strengthens Gambia's Ebola Prevention Strategy

<CITE class=byline>By Arfang Ms Camara, 11 June 2014</CITE>

The Gambia's preparedness and response against the highly contagious Ebola virus has been strengthened by the United Nations system in Banjul through the World Health Organisation (WHO) with a presentation Tuesday of an assortment of preventive medical items and other supplies to the Healthy Ministry.

The consignment, received by the Health minister at the WHO office in Kotu, included over 42 boxes (4000 sets) of personal protective equipment, 2000 copies of posters on the prevention and control of Ebola virus disease, 2500 copies of leaflets of Ebola virus disease, 2000 copies of fact sheet on the disease, 2000 copies of Ebola virus disease guidelines for health workers, 200 copies of handbook on the disease amongst others. Since its outbreak in Guinea a few months ago and recently in Sierra Leone, West African countries have been on their toes to prevent the highly contagious killer disease.

The Health minister, Omar Sey, said the "timely" gesture will help to prevent the disease from entering the country, thus commending the UN system through WHO for the intervention. "Yes we don't have Ebola in the country, but there is no room for complacency," he cautioned.
