WHO sends team to assist in #Ebola fight

The World Health Organization has sent a team of ten experts to Uganda to help fight the Ebola epidemic.
The WHO Country Representative Dr. Joaquim Saweka says these experts are from USA and Geneva and their major task is to train Ugandan medical personnel on how to handle and treat the epidemic.
He says that by today some of them will be off to Kibaale district to assess the situation on ground.
Saweka has also re-affirmed the organization’s commitment to help the country in times of health disaster and advised government not to restrict movement since World Health Organization is working closely with the ministry of health to control the spread of Ebola.  http://www.ugpulse.com/uganda-news/health/who-sends-team-to-assist-in-ebola-fight/26596.aspx
