Ebola outbreak – B-roll of Red Cross Ebola treatment centre in Kenema, Sierra Leone being dismantled
Two years following the declaration of an Ebola virus disease outbreak in West Africa, communities and governments in Guinea, Liberia, and Sierra Leone are moving into the recovery phase, determined to make their countries stronger before Ebola decimated families, economies and health care systems.
Through its five pillared response, the IFRC, in support of the three affected National Societies, played a key role in helping to bring the outbreak to an end. Thousands of volunteers were involved in contact tracing, case management, beneficiary communications and social mobilization, psychosocial support, and safe and dignified burials.
The Red Cross treatment centre in Kenema, in the eastern part of the country opened in September 2014. The centre was decommissioned in May 2015, and dismantled in November 2015, after having admitted 597 patients.
