Inside MSF’s Ebola Training for Health Workers

As part of the #Ebola outbreak response in the Democratic Republic of Congo, MSF is strengthening protections for health workers through targeted training before deployment to affected areas. Once in the field, trained staff will also support and train local health workers, helping to reinforce safe practices and capacity on the ground. In this video, Armand Sprecher, MSF Emergency Physician and Epidemiologist, explains why proper use of personal protective equipment (PPE) is critical—and why ongoing dialogue with local communities is just as essential to building trust and supporting effective outbreak response efforts.
