Getting Ebola under control in West Africa will require a sustained investment of time and resources. IMC UK run a response of 4 elements: Treatment centres - to isolate the infected and treat those recovering. Training - to ensure that health workers are protected from contracting the disease, a circumstance which has ended many lives in the recent future. Mobile response teams - to support new Ebola centres that are opening. Community outreach - to educate about the dangers.
