Description
Frontline Health workers in DRC face tremendous dangers when engaging Ebola patients but a biosecure Cube isolation unit, developed in the aftermath of the 2014–2016 Ebola outbreak, is helping improve the safe treatment of patients with highly infectious diseases.
The doctor behind the innovation demonstrates how the unit works, explaining its biosecure features and mobility. Designed as a mobile intensive care unit (ICU), it enables critically ill patients to receive treatment while reducing the risk of infection for healthcare workers.
