Their deployment was prompted by a request to the International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies by the Government of Sierra Leone and the World Health Organisation (WHO).
Mrs Collins and Ms Mackie will join an emergency response team made up of Red Cross health professionals from Spain, Australia, Norway and the United Kingdom, which will set up an isolation ward and provide clinical care to infected patients in Kenema, the worst-hit area of Sierra Leone.
Following the response they will then spend three weeks in quarantine before returning to New Zealand.
