HEALTH-EBOLA-US-TECHNOLOGY-SUIT

Dr. Willibrord Shasha, Technical Director for Family Planning & Reproductive Health at Jhpiego, a division of Johns Hopkins University, discusses a new and improved prototype bio-hazard suit specifically targeted for viral outbreaks such as Ebola at the Johns Hopkins Biomedical Engineering Laboratory for Innovation and Design on December 18, 2014 in Baltimore, Maryland. Made of Tyvek, the bright yellow outfit is easier than current Ebola protection suits to remove, lowering the risk of a health care worker contracting the deadly virus. It also features a ventilation system, making it possible to wear the suit for hours in West Africa's tropical heat without discomfort. AFP PHOTO/PAUL J. RICHARDS (Photo credit should read PAUL J.
