Ebola, Phebian & Jericho Road Response Update

1. Phebian continues to stay committed to being in Kono. Her main focus currently is to complete the building of our medical clinic. Until the clinic is fully operational and there is a clear plan in place to triage potentially sick Ebola patients, she will be limiting her medical care to hernia patients and chronically ill patients. She is referring acutely ill patients to the Government Hospital or the Wellbody Clinic. Wellbody is receiving a shipment of medical equipment this week that they will be distributing to the healthcare workers in the Kono district.

2. Jericho Road is evaluating on a case by case basis any upcoming medical teams traveling to Sierra Leone to support Phebian. So far, some are deciding to still go while others are deciding to postpone travel. We support both choices.

3. Jericho Road is monitoring this situation in Sierra Leone, especially in Kono on a daily basis. If there are ways that we can help supply equipment or medication to the Kono district then we want to help. More specific details on that to follow.

4. Lastly, Jericho Road is praying for this virus to be contained, for the brave medical workers who continue to risk their lives, and for Phebian and her team.
