The Ebola virus disease outbreak occurring in West Africa has resulted in at least 199 cases of Ebola in Sierra Leonean health care workers, many as a result of transmission occurring in health facilities. The Ministry of Health and Sanitation of Sierra Leone recognized that improvements in infection prevention and control (IPC) were necessary at all levels of health care delivery. To this end, the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, United Nations Children's Fund, and multiple nongovernmental organizations implemented a national IPC training program in 1,200 peripheral health units (PHUs) in Sierra Leone. A tiered training of trainers program was used. Trainers conducted multiday trainings at PHUs and coordinated the delivery of personal protective equipment (gloves, gowns, masks, boots) and infection control supplies (chlorine, buckets, disposable rags, etc) to all PHU staff. Under the ongoing project, 4,264 health workers have already been trained, and 98% of PHUs have received their first shipment of supplies.
西非爆发的埃博拉病毒病已导致塞拉利昂医护人员至少199例感染埃博拉，其中许多是在医疗机构内传播所致。塞拉利昂卫生与环境卫生部认识到，在各级医疗服务中改善感染预防与控制（IPC）措施很有必要。为此，美国疾病控制与预防中心、联合国儿童基金会以及多个非政府组织在塞拉利昂1200个基层卫生单位实施了一项全国性IPC培训项目。采用了分层式培训培训师方案。培训师在基层卫生单位开展了为期多天的培训，并协调向所有基层卫生单位工作人员发放个人防护装备（手套、隔离衣、口罩、靴子）和感染控制用品（氯、水桶、一次性抹布等）。在当前项目下，已有4264名卫生工作者接受了培训，98%的基层卫生单位已收到首批用品。
