2 Opening: H. E, Ambassador Bockarie Stevens, welcome the members of the task force to the meeting, held at the ambassador residence in Washington, DC. He furthered that this is an unofficial meeting and the first for the group and wish for all to feel relax and contribute to the discussions as it is important that this group be effective and be comprehensive in order to develop practical objectives to work on. The ambassador recanted the requests from the last two meetings at the embassy by attendees and gave a synopsis of the Friday telephone conference call that was held and attended by over 34people. The Ambassador, welcome members again and extended his deep appreciation and wish for the group. The ambassador requested that a one minute silence be observed for prayer and then introduced Dr. Dembe and asked that he chaired the occasion as the wish of the embassy is for the task force be spearheaded by the health care professionals while the embassy coordinate the affairs of the committee. Dr. Dembe opened up the discussion with the role of the elements of task force, the medical, nursing and epidemiologist, logistics, NGO liaison, community liaison, database and IT management and embassy as equal elements in the task force with separate tasks and responsibilities to be represented within the task force by forming and coordinating their independent constituency needs, capacity, programs to ensure effectiveness and harmony. The ambassador mentioned that the embassy is talking with Genevive from Harvard and that a tentative meeting with the Harvard group to be held on 09/12/14, probably at 5:00pm at the embassy but not yet confirmed. The meeting will most likely be inclusive of representation from John Hopkins and George Washington University. The details of the purpose and objectives are not yet confirmed but a questionnaire from the Harvard group is expected this Tuesday and will be shared with the task force. Dr. Dembe also mentioned the WHO GORAM program as one to be researched and see if the embassy can make a special request to WHO program for Sierra Leone health care professionals recruitment in to the Program because of the special circumstances and needs faced by the country with the Ebola crisis. This, the task force aggress will help in renumeration, and compensation of Sierra leone health care cadres willing and capable to be trained and deployed in Sierra Leone to aide in filling the gaps and training of Sierra leone cadres. Also, Dr. Diallo added that this
3 will ease the burden of the task force wondering how to compensate and deploy diaspora healthcare volunteers and that the role then of the task force will be to collaborate with other institutions like the Harvard, john Hopkins and Goerge Washington groups to see if their endowments will help funding and training of identified diaspora volunteers. This will be critical in meeting the current capacity challenge in the country. Ms. khadijah Diallo representing the nursing element of the task force shared that they have been doing fund raising drives to raise funds and collect PPEs for shipment. Her group will take the liberty to reach out to the various Sierra leone nursing groups to determine need areas to be focused on, training materials, and develop database of Sierra Leone nurses in the united states and north America and a pool of volunteers for deployment. Dr. Dembe and the ambassador praised the nursing team and encourage to continue their work and try to focus around core areas as the country will need over 200 nurses by December to bring this crises to a halt and rotae over 100 doctors, epidemiologists and lab technicians. Dr. dembe provided an excellent visual depiction of the task force and how it's structure and function essentially should work to realize it's objectives which the group and the ambassador agreed will ensure harmony and effective collaboration and delivery toward the targeted outcomes. Ms. Susan Hoefling stated that she has been working with various NGOs and have written letters to government officials in the U.S but lack a backing like the embassy to give it the spine needed to get a response which the ambassador said the embassy is here to support the task force with every credible and vetted request and she has the full backing of the embassy.
