Inside an Ebola treatment centre: One year on
One year ago, the Kenema Red Cross Ebola treatment centre in Sierra Leone was a very different place.
Doctors and nurses, working in heavily protected suits, treated 599 patients with the highly contagious virus in crammed tents.
The World Health Organisation is expected to declare Sierra Leone Ebola Free in early November 2015. Ahead of this 5 live Drive’s Anna Foster visited the once “high risk” contamination area of the site.
Although today the buildings are now empty and the tents stripped bare, the 241 people who lost their lives remain in the graveyard outside.
Anna brought Haura Binta Bah, an Ebola survivor, and Abdulai Fatorma, who lost three members of his family, to see the graves of their loved ones for the first time.
