Malaysia will donate at least 20 million pairs
of medical gloves to Ebola-afflicted countries to help in the fight
against the deadly virus, Prime Minister Najib Razak said Monday, according to dpa.
'Medical experts have cited the shortage of medical rubber gloves as
a key problem in combatting the outbreak,' he said in a statement
Liberia, Sierra Leone and Guinea will each receive three containers
of gloves, while Nigeria and the Democratic Republic of Congo will
each receive one container, according to a statement.
'Malaysia can make a unique and vital contribution to the fight
against Ebola because we are one of the biggest manufacturers of
rubber gloves,' a government spokesman said.
'We hope this contribution will prevent the spread of Ebola and save lives.'
