Ebola: Ask your questions LIVE to the Minister of Information and Communications of Sierra Leone
The Minister of Information and Communications of Sierra Leone, Alpha Kanu, will host an online press conference Thursday, December 11, at 15 GMT
The President Dr. Ernest Bai Koroma has himself been touring the length and breadth of the country mobilizing paramount chiefs and other stakeholders for community involvement in the fight against the Ebola virus disease.
The message of the President has been very clear: Sierra Leone can get the best of treatment centers, the best of clinicians and doctors but unless and until the chain of transmission is broken at the community level by respecting the health measures being put in place of avoiding body contacts, not to touch or bury corpses, and above all, to always call the national Ebola response toll free number of 117, the fight against the virus can still be a herculean challenge.
The Minister of Information and Communications of Sierra Leone Alpha Kanu will host an international press conference to dilate on this and several other issues, including concerns over the spike of cases particularly in the western areas of the country, on Thursday, December 11, 2014 at 3pm Sierra Leone time.
Journalists interested in attending this event will be able to ASK QUESTIONS LIVE VIA THE INTERNET.
