Strengthening Village Health Teams for Early Detection
Village Health Teams (VHTs) are at the heart of community-based health systems, and your support is helping strengthen their role in the Ebola response.

As a result, early detection at the community level has improved significantly. VHT members are now more confident in recognizing symptoms and guiding families on the next steps.
This early action is critical in preventing wider transmission and ensuring timely care.
Your support is empowering local health structures that communities trust, creating a stronger and more responsive frontline defense against Ebola.
These investments are not only helping now—they are building lasting capacity for future health challenges.
