HAVANA, Cuba, Oct 27 (acn) Bolivian Health minister Juan Carlos Calvimontes announced in La Paz that six doctors from his country will attend a preparatory meeting in Cuba on the clinical management of Ebola.
The meeting is scheduled for October 28 and it is part of the accords reached at the recent summit of the Bolivarian Alliance for the Peoples of Our Americas (ALBA) held in Havana last week.
The Bolivian doctors will take technical training to set up medical assistance camps in their country if Ebola appears there. "They will take technical training from an update on the clinical management of the disease, the work they have to do, to the use of the personal protection equipment," the minister explained.
The ALBA countries activated an epidemiological network in their territories to exchange information and jointly work in the prevention of the disease.
Up to date, the Ebola virus has killed five thousand persons out of little over 10 thousand 100 cases since the Ebola outbreak took place in western Africa last March, according to the World Health Organization.
