ABSTRACT

The Henry Reeve Brigade arrived in Sierra Leone to face Ebola on October 2, 2014 with 162 brigade members and leadership groups as the advanced party of the brigades that would begin in late October in Liberia and Guinea. The Agreement between WHO and MINSAP was signed on October 7. At the reception ceremony, on October 8, representatives of different institutions participated. The Individual Contract for Participation in the Ebola Epidemic Program in West Africa was signed. In view of the death of a Cuban in Guinea Conakry by malaria, the brigade was prepared for its confrontation. The distrust of the population appeared before the protection measures that had to be taken to face Ebola. This determined repressive control by the police and the army with numerous checkpoints.
