WHO identified three groups that are at risk of contracting the disease: individuals having had close contact or consumed infected animals or their raw flesh, healthcare workers, such as doctors and nurses, and people who are in close constant contact with visibly ill patients.  Unamid’s Medical Section has put in place a strict set of measures to prevent the risks related to Ebola. As such, in a three-stage verification process, all Unamid staff travelling to and from West Africa have to undergo strict medical procedures with UN-certified medical staff, prior to their departure to West Africa, prior to their return to the Mission, and upon their return to the Mission.There are no recorded cases of Ebola among Unamid’s personnel.  File photo: Médecins Sans Frontières/Doctors Without Borders (MSF) staff attend an Ebola patient inside an isolation ward in Bundibugyo, Uganda, December 2007 (MSF)https://www.dabangasudan.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/11/cropped-dabanga-logo-zondernaam-512x512-1.png512512
