Dear Donor,
Thanks to your generous support, we continue helping communities understand how to respond responsibly when an Ebola alert occurs.
An alert does not automatically mean that a person has Ebola. Appropriate investigation and laboratory testing are needed to establish whether a suspected illness is actually linked to the virus.
We therefore encourage communities to report concerning illnesses promptly while avoiding rumors, blame, or stigma toward individuals and families.
This approach supports both public health and community trust. WHO's surveillance work emphasizes the importance of rapid detection, investigation of alerts, and monitoring of contacts in interrupting chains of transmission.
Your contribution helps communities respond to health alerts with greater awareness, calm, and cooperation.
Project reports on GlobalGiving are posted directly to globalgiving.org by Project Leaders as they are completed, generally every 3-4 months. To protect the integrity of these documents, GlobalGiving does not alter them; therefore you may find some language or formatting issues.
If you donate to this project or have donated to this project, you can receive an email when this project posts a report. You can also subscribe for reports without donating.
