A review study of national and international databases was conducted to identify the best prevention and control recommendations for direct care of patients with Ebola. For the research articles from national and international databases were used. The study sample consisted of 14 articles. Ebola hemorrhagic fever has epidemic characteristics and therefore the implementation of prevention and control strategies directly influence the risk of infection and disease transmission. The use of standard precaution measures, contact prevention and droplets, as well as proper care of medical equipment and materials are essential and should be adopted. Training of health professionals, as well as providing resources for the work by the health institutions are ethical ways to ensure that healthcare staff have a safe work environment with minimal risk of contamination and are able to provide the best care to patients.References
