Liberia

The COVID-19 pandemic has created many challenges for mental health and epilepsy patients in Liberia, leading to greater social isolation and disrupting treatment in some cases.

In Liberia, MSF works in collaboration with five local health facilities to treat more than 1,300 epilepsy patients.

MSF is expanding a free treatment program for people with mental health disorders in Liberia with activities beginning this month in the densely populated township of West Point in Monrovia.

MSF opened a paediatric surgical programme on the outskirts of Liberia's capital Monrovia, with a goal of making surgical care more available for children in the country.

Operational Research played a vital role in MSF’s response to the West African Ebola epidemic.

More than two and a half years after the Ebola outbreak officially began, MSF is now closing its last projects in West Africa dedicated to the "survivors".

Key financial data on MSF's response to the Ebola epidemic in West Africa.

The Ebola outbreak in West Africa was the most significant medical challenge that Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF) faced between 2014 and 2015. Indeed, there was no established cure for Ebola, there were a series of medical and logistical challenges to prevent infections and manage Ebola patients, and there was very little scientific knowledge to back decisions up.

World Must Learn Lesson for Future Outbreaks, Says MSF.

From September 2014 onwards, MSF started publishing field research studies describing various aspects of its Ebola emergency programs, and whose results led to multiple implications for Ebola interventions in West Africa.
