Dear Donor,
Thanks to your continued support, we are helping families understand how everyday household practices can contribute to Ebola prevention.
Households are important environments for prevention because family members often provide care when someone becomes sick. We encourage families to seek professional guidance when illness is suspected and to avoid direct contact with bodily fluids without appropriate protection and guidance.
We also promote regular handwashing, household cleanliness, prompt communication with health workers, and responsible handling of information about suspected cases.
These simple measures can help families reduce unnecessary exposure while waiting for appropriate assistance.
WHO continues to identify household and community transmission as important challenges in the DRC outbreak, particularly where delayed detection allows transmission to continue.
Your contribution is helping place Ebola prevention directly within the homes and communities where it matters most.
