MFP Appeal - Ebola Response
The EBOLA VIRUS is rapidly spreading throughout Liberia; closer to Maryland County as of today’s report; people are panicking. The William V.S. Tubman University in Maryland County has been tasked by County Leaders with the responsibility to lead the education and training of health workers and the citizens throughout the County. The University is in full force, but the need for Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) is dire. The training will include demonstration of preventive measures to help in containing the spread of the disease, and some basic screening. Below is a list of urgently needed items recommended by the Liberia Medical Association (LMA), in consultation with OSHA and CDC as the safest PPE (SafePag - Blood and Virus Protection, and HazMat Personal Protection Kit) for health care workers.
