The African Union (AU) Commission decided to deploy a joint military medical personnel and civilian humanitarian mission to help with the Ebola virus outbreak in West Africa nations, such as Sierra Leone, Guinea, Liberia and Nigeria.
The mission which will cost more than 25 million dollars will comprise medical doctors, nurses and other medical and paramedical personnel, and will run for six months with monthly rotation of volunteers.
“The operation aims at filling the existing gap in international efforts and will work with WHO, OCHA, US CDC, EU CDC and others agencies already on the ground.
