A first!

Women in DR Congo

The week of October 8 was a huge milestone against Ebola.  For the first time since the outbreak, there were no new cases reported.  A new worry has emerged, however, due to a Scottish nurse possibly relapsing after being declared Ebola free in January.

The message is still being spread from the HealthEd Connect Ebola workshop held in Zambia in January 2015.  A number of workshops have been held in various villages and towns in DR Congo, Malawi, and Zambia as the Wasaidizi health workers have shared the information they learned at the workshop.

Even though Ebola is totally off the radar screen in the U.S., people in Africa are very aware that new cases could surface at any time in their back yards.  They are eager to know the facts so they can respond accordingly should Ebola ever emerge in their areas.
