Slovakia planned to provide some 90,000 euros ($114,000) to countries affected by Ebola to help with the construction of field hospitals, foreign ministry said Saturday.
"It's for tents, beds, sheets, lighting, towels, generators, sinks and toilets," Xinhua quoted Peter Susko, head of the press department at Slovak foreign ministry, as saying.
