Community health workers at the front line of Ebola response in Congo
Add to Cart Add to Lightbox DownloadLeonida Nzigire Amani welcomes a community health worker to her home in Beni, a city in eastern Democratic Republic of the Congo that has been the epicenter of the Ebola outbreak that began in 2018. The health workers, here making sure children in the home understand proper handwashing hygiene, educate residents in preventative health measures and do contact tracing that allows timely screening of people who may have come in contact with the deadly virus. The health promoters work with the Programme de Promotion de Soins Santé Primaires, a local faith-based partner of IMA World Health. Image available for editorial use only.
