MISSION
SI has launched an Ebola response
in Sierra Leone to help stop the progression of the deadly virus. SI
provides WASH and logistics support to Medicos del Mundo in the Ebola
Treatment Centre of Moyamba. The centre opened on the 19th of
December 2014. The ETC is fitted with adequate water, sanitation and
waste management infrastructure and SI is required to ensure this
infrastructure is adequately operated and maintained throughout the
project period (at least 9 months). The WASH activities are absolutely
essential to provide adequate services within the centre and to ensure
that the medical teams can work without risk of contamination.
The WASH activities comprise, amongst other things: the operation and maintenance of the Water Supply System,
the preparation of chlorine solutions, the maintenance and cleaning of
latrines and showers with gender separation, waste management, Infection Prevention and Control (Maintenance
of proper hygiene and regular cleaning of the CTE and provision of
support to medical staff in high risk zone), laundry and dead body management and safe burial practices. SI
also makes sure that all logistics aspects are properly managed in the
centre, including stocks, power supply, infrastructure maintenance,
catering services and security and safety.
