Supporting Frontline Care in the DRC: Clinical and Operational Considerations for Healthcare Teams

Developed in collaboration between the Society of Critical Care Medicine (SCCM) and the National Emerging Special Pathogens Training and Education Center (NETEC), this dynamic webcast, with a special focus on the Democratic Republic of the Congo, equips healthcare professionals with the knowledge and confidence to respond effectively during Ebola outbreaks.

Participants will gain up-to-date insights into the current outbreak and explore realistic, evidence-based approaches for managing critically ill patients with Ebola virus disease in resource-variable settings. The session will highlight actionable strategies for infection prevention and control, appropriate use of PPE, and measures to protect healthcare workers while they deliver high-quality care.

Drawing on lessons learned from previous Ebola responses in both local and international regions, this webcast focuses on adaptable, frontline solutions to strengthen clinical decision-making, team safety, and patient outcomes across diverse care environments.
