Medics on way to help curb Ebola outbreaks among African countries

China will send public health experts to Uganda and South Sudan at those countries' request to help prevent outbreaks of Ebola, director of the Chinese Center for Disease Control and Prevention said.

"They will start the trip very soon," said Gao Fu, without specifying the date.

The experts, including three to be sent to South Sudan, will work with local health professionals to bolster disease control and prevention at their borders with the Democratic Republic of the Congo, including guiding them in the use of protective gowns and sterilization measures, he said in an exclusive interview with China Daily.
