China to set up Ebola treatment centre in Liberia

China is making full use of its experience and lessons from the prevention and treatment of the Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS) to help fight Ebola.

By following the principle of early detection, early reporting, early quarantine and early treatment, China will build a 100 bed treatment center in Liberia where the epidemic is most serious.

The Director-General of the Commerce Ministry's Foreign Aid Department, told the media that the center will be managed and operated by 480 medical personnel from the People's Liberation Army.

The Chinese government selected and trained them to be sent to Liberia.

During the construction of the center, China will strictly meet the requirements for building infectious hospitals, where buffer zones will be built between the clean area, polluted area and semi-polluted area.
