Opposition Leader, Andrew Holness, says he has confidence in the capacity of local health care workers to deal with a case of Ebola in the country.
However, he’s concerned that they’re not properly equipped.
Mr. Holness made the observation in an interview with Aljazeera America published yesterday.
Mr. Holness says a full, global mobilization of resources is necessary to stem the Ebola outbreak in West Africa.
He says he expects the outbreak to expand.
Mr. Holness says he supports the decision of Health Minister, Dr. Fenton Ferguson, to seek Cuba’s assistance in strengthening the country’s Ebola preparedness strategy.
He’s also defending the ban imposed by the Jamaican government on travellers from the three West African countries worst-affected by Ebola; Liberia, Guinea and Sierra Leone.
Opposition Leader, Andrew Holness.
