The core issue we target is the unbearable working conditions of healthcare workers (HCW) fighting Ebola in the conflict affected areas of North Kivu and Ituri in DRC. These working conditions, due to inappropriate, disposable personal protective equipment (PPE) cause overheating and dehydration of HCW, self-contamination when removing the PPE, and logistical constraints. The limited face visibility makes HCW frightening, hampering an empathic relationship and trust with the patient/communities.
