Using a decade of first-hand experience in Ebola response, Dr Briand and her team developed a Pocket guide on Clinical Management of Patients with Viral Hemorrhagic Fevers in 2013. This pocket guide has now become the basis of trainings for Ebola treatment units (ETUs), Community care centres (CCCs) and thousands of responders. Dr Briand talks about why training, in all areas of Ebola repose – identifying the sick and those who have come into close contact with them, providing treatment and care, engaging communities to stop the spread of the disease, and if patients die, making sure they are buried safely and with dignity – is essential to stopping Ebola.
