According to an article on the Sourceable website, those working on a construction standard for Ebola-care facilities now say that the standard needs to be designed for the construction of healthcare facility compounds rather than wards or discrete buildings.
According to the article, healthcare compounds need these key elements:
• The need for separate wards for both suspects and carriers
• Security fences
• Separate medical laboratory, administrative, equipment and food facilities that are located within the compound
• Decontamination chambers
• Separated bathrooms
• Toxic waste disposal facilities
• Access for the transporting in and out of the facility personnel and “ebola debris”
One of the biggest challenges is the destruction of highly contagious Ebola waste.
"The considered view is that the facility needs incinerators that are ideally low in cost, capable of generating very high temperatures and, if possible, mobile. These incinerators need to be on site and preferably multi-purpose," the article said.
