00:00Safety goggles, masks and full-body suits.
00:04Patients with the Ebola virus must be treated under strict safety precautions.
00:09In the Democratic Republic of the Congo, the number of infections has now risen to over 9,000.
00:15While Germany has special isolation wards, resources on the ground are still limited.
00:20A simulation shows how teams from the Charite Hospital in Berlin
00:24are teaching safe treatment procedures to medics in the Congo.
00:27There is no protection. Ebola is broken in regions that are also affected by crises and conflicts.
00:37That means medical personnel must be treated at the same time, if they are at the same time.
00:48Since the Ebola outbreak began in June, the Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development
00:54has increased its aid by 21 million euros, including funding for protective gear.
00:59Because of the local climate conditions, protective clothing can only be worn for about an hour,
01:05which means tens of thousands of sets of protective gear are used every day.
01:24Germany is also sending medical professionals to the affected regions.
01:28We fly at the same time, for a week, for a clinical team of about 30 employees to school.
01:37But the schools are really essential to ensure that the personnel is not infected,
01:43and that they know how they are safe when they are in the red area,
01:47also in the patient treatment area.
01:49And the next one is already being planned.
01:56The ultimate goal is to create a pool of specialists throughout East Africa who, in turn,
02:01can pass on their expertise and thus help contain the Ebola virus locally.
