Summary

[edit]
Description
English: Guinea’s frontline healthcare workers are receiving practical training in identifying, isolating, and caring for suspect Ebola patients and protecting themselves while doing so. Here a trainer is going over the proper use of personal protective equipment (PPE) while two students model full PPE.

CDC is providing technical assistance for the training sponsor, Catholic Relief Services, which has received funding from USAID to support national infection prevention and control efforts.

The students include doctors, nurses, pharmacists, lab technicians, students in training, and cleaners. Up until now, most training has been for healthcare workers in Ebola Treatment Units, or ETUs.

“For healthcare workers in ETUs, every patient is a confirmed or suspect case. But the health care workers we’re training are working with everyone from the community, so they must determine for each patient whether they pose a risk and how they will respond,” says CDC’s Lindsey Horton.
