CFNU donates $10,000 to fight Ebola epidemic in Western Africa

In response to the Ebola epidemic in Western Africa, the Canadian Federation of Nurses Unions (CFNU) is donating $5,000 to Doctors Without Borders and $5,000 to the Registered Nurse Response Network (RNRN) to protect health care workers in affected countries. 

United Nurses of Alberta and CFNU have a strong relationship with National Nurses United, the union of American nurses who sponsor the RNRN program. RNRN deploys and provides support for volunteer nurses when disaster strikes. With RNRN, nurses can focus on providing patient care.

Founded in 1971, Doctors Without Borders has a long history of working in countries facing health crises and has a great reputation of working with nurses.

CFNU encourages individual union members and locals to make donations to these organizations.
