The International Rescue Committee has been at the forefront of the fight to combat the spread of the deadly Ebola virus since the first cases were diagnosed in Liberia and Sierra Leone in March. The IRC is saving lives by training and protecting medical workers; preventing people from catching Ebola with "alert" systems," contact tracing and community awareness; and providing medical care to people with treatable diseases who would otherwise die because they are afraid to visit health centers.
