00:03medical teams are expanding emergency treatment units in Nitori province
00:07to stem the growing Ebola outbreak. Health authorities and international
00:11organizations are deploying prefabricated treatment centers
00:15directly into affected rural zones to bring clinical care
00:19closer to communities. With over 6,300 confirmed cases and 3,000
00:24deaths reported since May, frontline responders are rushing to
00:28break transmission chains, overcome local fears, and distribute
00:3270,000 vaccines doses to safeguard vulnerable families.

00:56strengthened community-based surveillance, the more we would reduce resistance.
01:00This also meant that there would be an increase in the number of detected cases.
01:04That is how it works. So, we agreed with the WHO to expand the capacity of the
01:09treatment centers and organize them according to standards. The aim was in

01:17internal medicine wards available for the treatment of Ebola patients.
