Equip health facility to contain Ebola
The Democratic Republic of Congo is battling its 17th Ebola outbreak, now the second-largest and fastest-spreading on record. With no vaccine yet available for this strain, health workers are on the frontlines, often without the basic equipment they need to protect themselves and their patients. More than 150 health workers have already been infected while caring for others.
This gift equips a health facility with protective suits, disinfectants, thermometers for fever screening, and handwashing supplies. By helping health workers prevent and control infection, you are not only protecting those providing lifesaving care, but also helping make health facilities safer for children and families seeking treatment.
