“It’s hot in here! 💦 But safety comes first.” When responding to Ebola, health workers must wear personal protective equipment - called PPE - to protect themselves and others from infection.

These suits are vital, but they are also difficult to work in: they are hot, heavy, and limit the time during which teams can safely stay in contact with patients to one hour at a time. This is extremely challenging work for our teams. Hang in there, Dr Chopper!
