Israel - Three teams of medical professionals, along with mobile emergency clinics, will be sent to fight Ebola. (Jpost).
Israel announced Sunday that it will expand its efforts in the global fight against Ebola by sending three mobile emergency clinics and corresponding medical teams to West Africa, according to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
Each clinic's team of professional medical trainers will teach the local medics how to use the vehicles and its equipment. The mobile clinics, produced in Israel, all meet the World Health Organization's Ebola treatment guidelines, the Ministry said.
MASHAV, Israel's international aid organization, is in charge of this endeavor and says it will center training around Ebola prevention, providing education for not only the medical community but the general population as well.
Israel previously sent an Ebola treatment team to Cameroon, sent emergency equipment to Sierra Leone, and sent protective equipment to African Union teams.
