A staff of medical experts will be attached to each clinic, and they will train the local practitioners in the operation of the clinic and its equipment. In addition, staff training will focus on preventing the spread of the disease and raising awareness among populations with high potential for infection.<\/p>\n<p>An Israeli team has already been sent to Cameroon, where it was favorably received by the local authorities.
