EBOLA VIRUS DISEASE – Situation Report – 10 JUNE 2016
[Excerpt]
Risk assessment:
Guinea and Liberia declared the end of the most recent outbreak of EVD on 1 and 9 June, respectively. The performance indicators suggest that Guinea, Liberia and Sierra Leone still have variable capacity to prevent, detect and respond to new outbreaks (Table 1). The risk of additional outbreaks originating from exposure to infected survivor body fluids remains and requires sustained mitigation through counselling on safe sex practices and testing of body fluids.

Global Health Security in Liberia
CDC works with the Government of Liberia and partners to improve health systems and outcomes by building on existing disease prevention, detection and response capacities, as well as those developed during the response to the Ebola epidemic. Efforts continue to help public health systems created as a result of the epidemic and to support specific programs that meet the needs of Ebola survivors.

Our activities support the Global Health Security Agenda (GHSA), which aims to improve countries’ abilities to prevent, detect, and respond to health threats. In Liberia, we are doing this by focusing on key activities to:
:: build surveillance systems that monitor cases of infectious diseases
:: improve the safety and quality of national laboratory systems
:: develop the skills of the public health workforce
:: establish emergency operations centers that can quickly launch coordinated responses to a public health threat.

The 2014-2015 Ebola epidemic in West Africa was the largest in history. Liberia and the other affected countries suffered significant loss of human life that continues to adversely affect communities and health systems. In the wake of the outbreak, there have been a number of additional cases/clusters of Ebola. CDC assists with detection and control of these cases/clusters, while supporting research and programs designed to meet the needs of survivors. Our experience in Liberia has demonstrated the importance of having systems to detect and respond to health threats, and building capacity before diseases appear…
