At the heart of this is the provision of 700 treatment beds in Sierra Leone, providing direct medical care for up to 8,800 patients over six months. Work is well underway on a 92 bed treatment facility in Kerrytown which will provide 12 dedicated beds specifically for healthcare workers.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p>To support these new facilities, the UK is funding the WHO to train over 120 health workers every week. In combination with the training of foreign medical teams and the planned deployment of UK health professionals, the UK’s support will enhance Sierra Leone’s capacity to quickly identify, isolate and treat Ebola victims. In addition, the UK is trialling local-level Ebola Care Units that will encourage people to come forward as soon as they feel unwell.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p> answering member constituency Putney answering member printed Justine Greening question first answered 15/10/2014 15:43:02 answering member 1555 label Biography information for Justine Greening
