DOH to conduct specialized training program for medical workers on Ebola

The Department of Health (DOH) announced on Friday that it will be conducting specialized training programs, in coordination with the World Health Organization (WHO) in the Philippines, for health workers on how to detect and treat cases of Ebola Virus Disease (EVD) and prevent the spread of the disease in the country.

“After the successful National Ebola Summit held last Friday (October 10), we want to primarily increase the capacity of our health workers nationwide in responding to EVD, like what we did when SARS and H1N1 threatened the country a few years ago,” Health Secretary Enrique Ona said.
