THREE Chinese disease control teams will travel to Guinea, Liberia and Sierra Leone to help the fight against the deadly Ebola virus, the National Health and Family Planning Commission said yesterday.
It is the first time that China has offered assistance to foreign nations in response to a public health emergency.
The African countries are facing a severe shortage of drugs and disease prevention knowledge, and are in urgent need of support, it said.
The experts will help to train local medical workers on personal protection, disinfection and biological safety, it said.
