Summary
Trainers from the Department of Defense Ebola Treatment Training Team put health care workers through their final practical exam in a mock Ebola treatment unit at the National Police Training Academy, Paynesville, Liberia, Dec. 23, 2014. This is the last class in support of Operation United Assistance at the NPTA for the DET-3. The DET-3 is scheduled to make a critical transition of its mission back to the World Health Organization, the ETU health care workers who were trained as trainers, and PAE, a contracting company, Jan. 1, 2015. The WHO, which created the course in conjunction with the Liberian Ministry of Health, has been conducting the same training since September 2014. The DET-3, as part of Joint Forces Command – United Assistance, conducted 14 classes at the NPTA while its mobile training team conducted 12 other classes in remote areas across Liberia, training more than 1,500 health care workers. Operation United Assistance is a Department of Defense operation in Liberia to provide logistics, training and engineering support to U.S. Agency for International Development-led efforts to contain the Ebola virus outbreak in western Africa.
