A hospital Learning session as we enhance our preparedness for Ebola Virus Disease. The CME was honored by the presence of both the CECM and County Director Department of Medical Services & Public Health - Nyeri County who encouraged the team to be on high alert and assured them that the county has laid down measures to ensure optimal preparation.
🌡️ Know the symptoms
Symptoms appear 2–21 days after exposure:
Sudden fever, fatigue, muscle and joint pain, headache, sore throat
Then vomiting, diarrhoea, abdominal pain and rash
In some patients, unexplained bleeding or bruising
🚫 How it spreads, and how it doesn’t
Ebola is not airborne. It spreads through direct contact with the blood or body fluids of a person who is sick with, or has died from, the disease.
âś… Protect yourself and your family
Wash your hands often or use an alcohol-based sanitiser
Avoid contact with the body fluids of sick people, and with sick or dead animals
Don’t treat suspected cases at home. Go to the nearest health facility early.
Follow safe burial guidance
