00:00:01:00 - 00:00:02:29
The most important
tool against Ebola

00:00:02:29 - 00:00:04:17
is not in a hospital,

00:00:04:17 - 00:00:05:18
it is in the community.

00:00:06:12 - 00:00:07:20
It may seem surprising,

00:00:07:20 - 00:00:09:13
but experience has shown us

00:00:09:13 - 00:00:10:18
again and again.

00:00:10:18 - 00:00:12:14
No outbreak
can be controlled

00:00:12:14 - 00:00:14:07
without the trust
and participation

00:00:14:07 - 00:00:15:27
of the people affected.

00:00:16:03 - 00:00:18:01
When a community
knows the symptoms,

00:00:18:01 - 00:00:19:09
knows where to seek help,

00:00:19:09 - 00:00:20:23
knows how to prevent infection

00:00:20:23 - 00:00:23:06
and helps with early detection of cases,

00:00:23:12 - 00:00:25:12
we can act faster

00:00:25:12 - 00:00:26:20
and protect more lives.

00:00:27:00 - 00:00:28:08
That is why our response

00:00:28:08 - 00:00:30:16
is not limited
to medical care alone.

00:00:30:18 - 00:00:32:14
We work with
community leaders

00:00:32:14 - 00:00:33:26
and community representatives.

00:00:34:08 - 00:00:37:10
We engage with communities, promote clear information

00:00:37:10 - 00:00:39:06
and support
essential measures

00:00:39:06 - 00:00:40:29
such as safe
and dignified burials.

00:00:41:25 - 00:00:43:23
We are providing
a wide-ranging response

00:00:43:23 - 00:00:45:17
in the Democratic
Republic of Congo:

00:00:45:17 - 00:00:47:00
Ebola treatment centres,

00:00:47:00 - 00:00:48:17
isolation centres,

00:00:48:26 - 00:00:51:14
supporting epidemiological surveillance

00:00:51:14 - 00:00:53:00
and other essential measures

00:00:53:00 - 00:00:55:02
to prevent transmission.

00:00:55:08 - 00:00:56:03
We are [also] supporting

00:00:56:03 - 00:00:58:06
preparedness and capacity-building in Uganda.

00:00:58:08 - 00:00:59:28
After many years responding

00:00:59:28 - 00:01:01:09
to Ebola outbreaks,

00:01:01:16 - 00:01:03:00
experience has shown us

00:01:03:00 - 00:01:05:03
that treatment centers
are important,

00:01:05:03 - 00:01:06:24
medical care is important,

00:01:06:24 - 00:01:08:12
but no fight against Ebola

00:01:08:12 - 00:01:09:17
can be won without
the community.
