Our field teams are working directly with community leaders, schools, and local volunteers to promote key prevention messages. These include regular handwashing, early reporting of symptoms, avoiding contact with infected individuals, and seeking medical attention immediately when symptoms appear.
Community engagement has proven essential in controlling previous outbreaks. By building trust and sharing accurate information, we are helping reduce fear, misinformation, and stigma associated with Ebola.
