9 July 2015 -- In Sierra Leone’s Magazine Wharf community, people distrust the services set up to tackle Ebola. When ambulances arrive to take away those who are ill, patients, their families, and their neighbours fear they will never return or they will be mistreated. So, WHO and its partners held a demonstration to reassure communities.
The WHO team worked with partner teams from Handicap International, the Social Mobilization Action Coalition (SMAC) and UNICEF. One team acted out the different steps taken to ensure that ambulances take people safely from home to health facility.
