Africa: Ebola - Tackling the Epidemic Across Country Borders

press release

This Ebola outbreak has been characterised by its vast geographic spread, including across country borders. Médecins Sans Frontières is working along the porous border between Guinea and Sierra Leone to improve the cross-border cooperation in the region.

Many people in Kambia, in north-west Sierra Leone, lead lives that intersect the border with neighbouring Guinea. Families are often split on either side of the boundary, and people regularly do their shopping at markets in Forecariah, on the Guinea side.
