Ebola Toolkit on Medbox – Key resources

The Ebola outbreak in West Africa is spreading, and specialised medical teams from different organisations and governments are currently working to control the dangerous epidemic.

To aid these efforts, MEDBOX has generated an EBOLA TOOLBOX comprising of disease-specific documents to support teams on the ground.

MEDBOX (www.medbox.org) is a new and innovative, free-of-charge online library aimed at improving the quality of health care in humanitarian action, worldwide. Medbox is based on the assumption that humanitarian health workers around the world can act effectively if they have access to the necessary tools.

Supported by the Humanitarian Innovation Fund, which is managed by ELRHA (Enhancing Learning and Research for Humanitarian Assistance), MEDBOX continues to collate professional guidelines, textbooks and practical documents on health action and brings these into the hands of aid workers: when they need it, where they need it.

The EBOLA TOOLBOX is available at: http://www.medbox.org/ebola-toolbox/listing.

MEDBOX is continuously creating partnerships and collaborations to build its library. If you are currently involved in the management of the Ebola crisis and have new resources to share, please do contact Medbox at info@medbox.org. They are interested in resources such as treatment guides, general or country-specific IEC or health education materials, posters, videos, e-books, power point presentations etc. Or, you can just simply place a link to MEDBOX to share with others on your website. Additionally, you can follow latest developments of the MEDBOX project, including Ebola updates, on Facebook, LinkedIn and Twitter.
