Another free app for Ebola information

A new free Ebola app, part of a wider International SOS communications initiative aimed at supporting the global fight against Ebola, has been released for iOS and Android devices. It is maintained 24/7 and reviewed by experienced medical and security professionals.

Doug Quarry, Medical Director for Information & Analysis at International SOS said, "The ongoing Ebola outbreak has become a global health emergency where rapid communication of advice and information is absolutely critical. We know people want up-to-date, accurate information as quickly as possible. They want it from a trusted source. Moreover, in today's multimedia world they want it in their hands wherever they are. We designed this app to try and help meet that demand."

Organisations in West Africa and beyond are using the organisation's educational material, which has been translated into 21 local languages. Public awareness broadcasts are available and the app includes access to the video, 'Ebola - What business travellers need to know'. For more information, go to www.internationalsos.com/ebola.
