Ebola Responders at Risk: Africa CDC Calls for Urgent Safety Overhaul

The Africa Centres for Disease Control and Prevention (Africa CDC) has issued a new warning, urging authorities to strengthen safety measures for health workers responding to Ebola outbreaks. The call comes amid concerns that current protection protocols are insufficient, putting frontline responders at greater risk of infection. The agency stresses that without better equipment and training, efforts to contain the virus could be undermined. Health officials are now being asked to prioritize the safety of medical teams to prevent further spread of the disease.
