Strengthening Infection Prevention in Public Trans

By Zachery Onyango | Project Leader

Strengthening Infection Prevention in Public Transport Systems

Public transport systems remain critical for daily life, but they also present high-risk environments for Ebola transmission due to frequent contact between passengers. Because of your support, targeted infection prevention measures are being strengthened within these transport networks.

Before this intervention, hygiene practices in public transport were inconsistent, increasing exposure risks. With your contributions, we have:

  • Promoted hand hygiene practices among transport operators and passengers
  • Encouraged routine cleaning of high-contact surfaces
  • Integrated prevention messaging into transport hubs and routes

As a result, transport operators are becoming more proactive in maintaining safer environments, and passengers are increasingly aware of hygiene practices during travel.

These improvements are helping reduce transmission risks in one of the most active movement systems within communities.

Your support is ensuring that essential mobility can continue more safely—protecting both livelihoods and public health at the same time.
