摘要

In Cameroon, we have not yet experienced any outbreak of Ebola Virus disease. But Cameroon's closest neighbor, Nigeria, has that experience. Cameroon is strategically located in Africa with a geography and behavioral pattern that is similar with all the Ebola infected countries. In this paper, a proposed strategic nursing care protocol such as: Surveillance and notification plan, hospital and human resource re-enforcement plan, how strategic nursing care with respect to community mobilization of resources should be planned, in anticipation of any Ebola outbreak in the country is provided in the form of a proposal to be adopted in case of a sudden outbreak.
