People in the village were saying that the injection was to kill me. I was the first one to be injected, the very first, here in my village on March 23. 44 people were vaccinated. I had fever after the vaccination, it worried me a bit, but they warned me that would happen and it didn't last long. I've been monitored for three months and I've had no problems. The last follow up, 84 days after the vaccination, was all clear".

  • The drill for destroying the Ebola virus where medical staff come in contact with confirmed cases is strict routine, one small mistake and the infection can be passed on. Staff in PPE, are often close to being overcome by the heat and dehydration, and sometimes need to be shouted instructions like "raise your head up" as each part of the drill is gone through, a series of specific movements as they are sprayed with a bleach solution and each part of the protective clothing is peeled off in the right order and in the right direction, and put straight in the incineration bucket, even the ground where they stand is considered contaminated and has to be covered in bleach. Eventually, a very grateful and completely sweat-sodden worker emerges from inside.

  • In Sarakoh village in northern Sierra Leone, World Renew works with partner CER. In this region african palm oil is extracted in the traditional way by hand. First the palm oil nuts are harvested from the trees and the nuts removed from the bunches. The nuts are boiled with water in a drum and some of the oil comes to the surface and is skimmed off, then the remaining mixture is put in a pit and workers break the boiled nuts down with their feet, finally the mash is squeezed by hand to extract the last of the oil. A jerrycan of oil is sold on the local market for less than ten dollars.

  • Sekou Minkailou, (centre) chief of Matam district in Conakry, worked closely with the team from WHO to convince his people to participate in the Ebola vaccine trial. In Matam district, 10 people, including a doctor, had already died during the outbreak and people were frightened of this new disease that they had never seen before in their country.<br />
“People were so scared, they refused to follow the advice from the government and health workers. They didn’t even want the Red Cross to be involved. They hid the bodies of people who died from Ebola because there was such horrible stigma attached to the family once it was touched by Ebola.”<br />
<br />
Minkailou and his colleagues in the district office were often the first people to have contact with families when a new Ebola case was announced. “We feel really happy, so relieved that this vaccine protects us,” he said.

  • Aboubacar Sylla, aged 79, lost 4 members of his family in the Ebola outbreak of 2014-15. <br />
<br />
His daughter M’Mah was one of the lucky ones. As soon as she started showing symptoms of the deadly disease, her father made sure that she was taken straight to hospital where early treatment helped save her life. <br />
<br />
Surrounded by multiple generations of his large family at their home in the district of Dixinn Port, Conakry, Sylla tells how the family was shunned by their own community when Ebola struck his family.<br />
<br />
“Before the Ebola outbreak, everyone talked to one another here. Then suddenly we weren’t even allowed to leave our house,” he said.<br />
<br />
People stopped using the well in the open area in front of their home for fear of contamination and the children were forbidden to step out past the boundary of their front courtyard where they were used to playing.<br />
<br />
M’Mah was not living in the family house when she got sick, but her brother Aboubacar was the one who went to her house where she was living with her husband and took her to the Ebola treatment centre in Nongo. <br />
<br />
“Everyone was so scared of Ebola but I couldn’t just abandon my sister. She would have died,” he said, telling how his decision to ride in the ambulance with her caused division within the family.<br />
Since then, even though he never got sick, Aboubacar has suffered stigma from his contact with Ebola and has found it difficult to get work anymore. <br />
<br />
As soon as M’Mah arrived at the Ebola treatment centre, the disease surveillance system alerted the vaccine trial team of this new case. The team sent two local social mobilizers, trained specifically by WHO for this delicate role, to visit the family and to ask if they would agree to participate in a research trial to help develop a vaccine against Ebola. <br />
The Guinea vaccine trial, led by WHO, used a method called ring vaccination. This method, used to eradicate smallpox, aims to vaccinate a “ring” of all the people who had close contact with the pe

  • Aboubacar Sylla, aged 79, lost 4 members of his family in the Ebola outbreak of 2014-15. <br />
<br />
His daughter M’Mah was one of the lucky ones. As soon as she started showing symptoms of the deadly disease, her father made sure that she was taken straight to hospital where early treatment helped save her life. <br />
<br />
Surrounded by multiple generations of his large family at their home in the district of Dixinn Port, Conakry, Sylla tells how the family was shunned by their own community when Ebola struck his family.<br />
<br />
“Before the Ebola outbreak, everyone talked to one another here. Then suddenly we weren’t even allowed to leave our house,” he said.<br />

<br />
M’Mah was not living in the family house when she got sick, but her brother Aboubacar was the one who went to her house where she was living with her husband and took her to the Ebola treatment centre in Nongo. <br />
<br />
“Everyone was so scared of Ebola but I couldn’t just abandon my sister. She would have died,” he said, telling how his decision to ride in the ambulance with her caused division within the family.<br />
<br />
Since then, even though he never got sick, Aboubacar has suffered stigma from his contact with Ebola and has found it difficult to get work anymore. <br />
<br />
As soon as M’Mah arrived at the Ebola treatment centre, the disease surveillance system alerted the vaccine trial team of this new case. The team sent two local social mobilizers, trained specifically by WHO for this delicate role, to visit the family and to ask if they would agree to participate in a research trial to help develop a vaccine against Ebola. <br />
The Guinea vaccine trial, led by WHO, used a method called ring vaccination. This method, used to eradicate smallpox, aims to vaccinate a “ring” of all the people who had close contact with the p
