Government sets up national task force on Ebola


Government has set up a national task force to coordinate the Ebola management efforts of the disease in Kibaale and neighboring districts.
The minister of health, Christine Ondoa announced that the country was safe for all travelers since the affected persons have been isolated and no travel bans have been issued.
MPs have urged government to consider instituting a special policy to cover medical workers whose lives are at risk in the line of duty.
MPs are concerned over the recorded death of medical personnel whenever an Ebola outbreak is recorded.
MPs proposed that all medical personnel who die in the line of duty compensated and their families catered for by government.
Ebola is a highly infectious disease which presents itself with high grade fever and bleeding tendencies.  http://www.ugpulse.com/uganda-news/health/government-sets-up-national-task-force-on-ebola/26516.aspx
