利比里亚卫生行政部门今天上午早些时候与主要合作伙伴召开了紧急会议,对快速应对工作进行筹划和协调。
Liberianhealth authorities convened an emergency meeting early this morning with key partners to coordinate and plan a rapid response.
Earlier this week, at the recommendation of the International Health Regulations Emergency Committee, WHO declared that the Ebola epidemic in West Africa no longer represents a Public Health Emergency of International Concern.
WHO said Guinea, Liberia and Sierra now have the detection and response capacities in place to effectively manage ongoing flare-ups of Ebola, pointing to the swift response and rapid containment of recent small outbreaks.
But WHO reiterated that additional flare-ups of the disease are expected in the months to come, largely due to virus persistence in some survivors, and that the three countries must remain on high alert and ready to respond.
