B-roll of staff at IFRC Ebola treatment centre in Kenema, Sierra Leone

ENG

When an Ebola virus disease outbreak was declared in Guinea in March 2014, the Red Cross in neighbouring Sierra Leone began preparing for an eventual spread of the disease by conducting sensitization activities in communities in Kailahun district in the eastern part of the country.


Due to cross border travel, the outbreak did spread to Sierra Leone, resulting in the Red Cross increasing its response efforts through a DREF and emergency appeal. Activities are focusing on providing psychosocial support to those affected by Ebola, their families and communities, raising awareness about the disease through SMS messaging, face-to-face visits in communities, community drama and IEC materials, contact tracing, the management of dead bodies, and now, at the request of the government, the establishment of an Ebola treatment centre in Kenema, one of the districts hardest hit by the outbreak.


The centre will scale up to a capacity of 60 beds, however, at the moment is operating at 30 beds, as there are not enough international staff to complete the roster. The centre is staffed 24/7 by approximately 160 national staff and 20 international staff. It is currently accepting patients from across the country. The Ebola treatment centre is divided into a high risk area and a low risk area. Within the high risk area, there are three divided wards: confirmed, probable and suspect. Any staff entering the high risk area must wear full personal protective equipment (PPE), and are only allowed to stay in the PPE for a maximum of one hour.
