HAVANA -- Members of a Cuban medical brigade will begin arriving in Ebola-struck Sierra Leone at the beginning of October.
Cuba's Public Health Minister Roberto Morales announced today. He said the 165-member team will include 62 doctors and 103 nurses. All, he said, have more than 15 years' experience and have previously served in medical cooperation missions abroad.
The Cubans will make up the largest contingent of foreign health care workers committed thus far to the fight against Ebola in West Africa.
There are currently 4,000 Cuban health workers -- 2,500 of them doctors -- providing services in 32 African countries. However, the group going to Sierra Leone will be the first to work in a country where Ebola is present.

It's a lot easier to stay healthy in a clean, mold-free house with a solid roof.
