I looked up
1. International response to the Ebola epidemic
- from http://ebolaresponse.un.org/liberia
I learned about how the UN coordinated various organizations, including UNICEF, the World Food Programme, and the WHO in their individual persuits to end the transmission of ebola in Liberia, including providing food, hygene kits, medical supplies and care, and how within 3 months of international joint operations the transmission rate of ebola was deacreased to zero.
2. Health Care in Liberia
Source http://www.aho.afro.who.int/profiles_information/index.php/Liberia:Index
While physical access to primary health care has improved dramatically across Liberia, from one health facility serving an average of 8000 population in 2006 to one health facility per 5500 population in 2009, it is still not nearly enough, and the existing resources of medications, supplies, and facilities can and do become overwhelmed when faced with new challenges.
3. Liberain public health response to the ebola crisis.
- http://www.nytimes.com/2014/11/20/world/africa/ebola-response-in-liberi…
As international support came into the country at the outbreak of ebola, Liberian public health structures and political institutions were unable to cope with the new strains and were rendered ineffective. Meetings between liberian health officials and international organizations that were lauded to the public as being "effective" were consistantly bogged down in politics, resulting in the inefficient implimentation of programs and the poor distribution of despritely needed resources.
