International Medical Corps medical shelters and other relief supplies bound for the Ebola response effort have been airlifted to Democratic Republic of the Congo, according to an article on the Relief Web website.
The shipment contains nearly 30,000 lbs. of medical shelters and equipment, family hygiene kits to help reduce the spread of illness, and other relief supplies, which will be transferred to Ebola-affected areas by International Medical Corps.
The medical shelters and accompanying equipment can be used for screening, referral, and isolation units in Ebola-affected areas and are part of International Medical Corps’ emergency field hospital, which is maintained at a warehouse in Memphis in collaboration with FedEx.
In support of the DRC Ministry of Health, International Medical Corps’ Emergency Response Team is launching an Ebola training program for frontline healthcare workers, providing health facilities with the tools to fight infectious disease, and establishing screening, referral, and isolation units in Ebola-affected areas.
