Ebola watch (MOA Wharf)- Environmental Health hazard in Sierra Leone

Expectations from Ebola survivors about new and up to date health facilities that will be provided by government or help from other humanitarian organizations seems to be moving at a snail pace. In a community called Moe Wharf, one of which was devastatingly ravished by Ebola. Dilapidated housing conditions, little or no presence of health and sanitation leave survivors in hash conditions which could arouse flare ups at any time.

Children as well as adults live in these deplorable conditions even after discharge from health care centres. Such conditions attract disease that affects these survivors due to weak health immune system.

Availability of public health units and community health workers (CHW) is limited and therefore cannot attend to Ebola survivors and their challenges they face daily.
