Medical Assistance Sierra Leone has received urgent requests for anti-bacterial hand gel and disposable thermometers from local partners and clinics in Sierra Leone. The epilepsy project has a network of 22 clinics, supporting nearly 5,000 people with essential anti-epileptic medication. Health workers are operating in impossible circumstances, many without the necessary resources to protect themselves and patients. Two health workers trained by the project, and focal points for the epilepsy clinics in their areas (Kailahun and Kenema), died from ebola in July.
Please consider making a donation to enable us to provide essential supplies as soon as possible. Our growing annual anti-epileptic medication bill consumes all our spare resources (we provide three of the four drugs that are used on the national programme). We can only provide supplies for controlling ebola that we can purchase from this appeal. Any donation, however small, will be gratefully received and used directly for the provision of supplies to clinics for managing the spread of ebola in Sierra Leone. Our Chair has set up a dedicated page here at:
