“Number of health workers getting infected and dying of Ebola virus infection has become very alarming”
Press Release by Junior Doctors, Sierra Leone

The junior Doctors Association of Sierra Leone ( JUDASIL) wish to bring to the notice of the general public that the number of health workers getting infected and dying of Ebola virus infection has become very alarming.

To date a total of nine(9) Sierra Leonean doctors have been infected with Ebola Virus Disease (EVD),
seven(7) of which have died without receiving prompt, concise and optimum care.
While they render their services to the public, health workers are uncertain of adequate care if peradventure they get infected.

We hereby appeal to the authorities and stakeholders concerned ( GOSL, MOHS, international community) to expedite the processes involved in developing a rapid response and to ensure that all possible means to increase the rate of survival of infected doctors are exhausted.

LONG LIVE THE MEDICAL PROFESSION,

LONG LIVE JUDASIL.

The junior Doctors Association of Sierra Leone ( JUDASIL)
