Plan International: Information has Become Central to Containing Ebola

CONAKRY, Guinea - Awareness among local population has become central to containing Ebola as the disease continues to spread in parts of West Africa, says Plan International.

Plan said that people must be urgently made aware of public health measures they can take to protect themselves from the lethal virus.

Due to lack of appropriate information, rumors are rife in the affected areas further complicating the response by government and humanitarian agencies.

“We are racing against the deadly virus. Appropriate and timely information can save lives from Ebola,” said Adama Coulibaly, Plan’s Regional Director for West & Central Africa.
