Health Official Nudges Liberians To Target Zero Ebola Case

MONROVIA, March 2 (LINA) – The Deputy Ebola Incidence Manager for Operations, Thomas Nagbe, has challenged Liberians to commit themselves to achieving “zero Ebola infections” within the next 42 days effective immediately.


“Already, the country has gone ten days without a single case of Ebola, but the reality of sustaining continuous zero cases rests with every Liberian and as such, the citizenry must stay focused in winning the fight,” he said.

Nagbe proffered the challenge Monday when he addressed the Information Ministry daily Ebola press briefing.
“As much as we can be confident in pledging our support to zero cases, we cannot do that successfully if we do not exert collective efforts of individuals and communities across the country,” he emphasized.

According to Nagbe, efforts and attempts to limit the spread and contain the outbreak must be buttressed by the adequate transfer of capacity to locals by international partners engaged in the fight against the disease.
 
President Ellen Johnson Sirleaf launched a nationwide “No New Cases” campaign in December 2014, aimed at eradicating Ebola from Liberia and ensuring that getting rid of the disease forms part of everyone’s business.
