In last night’s #stateoftheunion address, President Obama said: “In West Africa, our troops, our scientists, our doctors, our nurses and healthcare workers are rolling back Ebola — saving countless lives and stopping the spread of disease. I couldn’t be prouder of them, and I thank this Congress for your bipartisan support of their efforts. But the job is not yet done — and the world needs to use this lesson to build a more effective global effort to prevent the spread of future pandemics, invest in smart development, and eradicate extreme poverty.” In support of President Obama’s commitment to address Ebola, and to meet the WHOs urgent appeal for help, ISN has trained more than 1,200 Liberian police officers—nearly one-third of its national police force—on the nature of Ebola transmission; the use of protective equipment; and proper techniques to interact with sick or potentially infected individuals. Pictured here are biosecurity experts offering decontamination trainings to Sierra Leone’s security forces.
