China plans to send over 1,000 medical workers and experts to West Africa in the coming months to help African countries fight against the Ebola virus.

 A team of 12 public health trainers will leave for Sierra Leone on Sunday. A team of virus testing experts from China's national disease control center and another team of high commissioners from the Chinese government will also set off later this month.

In the months to come, more than 1,000 medical workers and public health experts will be sent by China to help in the battle against Ebola in West African countries.

So far, China has sent a total of 252 people to Guinea, Liberia and Sierra Leone, the three hardest-hit countries, and there are still 134 people who are now working there.

It is said that controlling the spread of the disease will be the most important in future help.

With experience in prevention and control during the SARS, Chinese trainers will help provide training for local people in the three countries and neighboring countries. It is said that 10,000 people will be trained.
