SEEKING: Former Army medics for interview

[mpeters]

Hello, BBC World News TV are looking for a former Army medic to speak to about the decision to deploy 750 troops to Sierra Leone to deal with the Ebola crisis there. We're specifically interested in finding someone who has experience of dealing with this kind of large-scale medical disaster, who can talk about what kind of preparations are involved before deployment, what sort of equipment is taken on this kind of a mission, and what kind of risks are involved.

If possible we'd like to get someone into the studio in London (ASAP) but there may be an option of doing the interview by skype.

Anyone who thinks they can help should contact marijke.peters@bbc.co.uk

Many thanks,

Marijke
