Introduction

Hello and welcome!

This lesson focuses on the groups who are most vulnerable in a BVD Ebola outbreak: children, pregnant women, and survivors.

As a community health worker, you play a critical role in making sure these groups receive care without delay — and that misinformation does not stop families from acting.

By the end of this lesson, you will be able to:

Recognise BVD symptoms in children and know what caregivers must do.
Explain the caregiver companion policy — a parent CAN stay with a young child at the treatment centre.
Know the specific messages for pregnant women with BVD symptoms.
Understand how to support survivor reintegration and counter stigma in your community.
