MONROVIA, January 25 (LINA) – An official of the United Nations Children’s Fund (UNICEF) has commended Liberians for volunteering to spread Ebola awareness and subsequently reverse the spread of the deadly virus in the country.
The Director of Program Division of UNICEF, Ted Chaiban, observed that the world had thought that Liberia would have been overwhelmed by the Ebola outbreak because of the kind of medical facilities in the country.
“I came purposely to Liberia to appreciate you for your tireless work in kicking out Ebola,” Chaiban said, adding, “This exploit in disease reduction has become a topic of worldwide conversation and achievement for your country.”
He made the statement Saturday when he addressed Community Leaders, Block and the Borough Council at the Administrative Building in the Borough of New Kru Town on Bushrod Island.
According to him, even in the midst of the major challenge of infection prevention and the fear that the virus created, coupled with loss of lives and livelihood, Liberian volunteers have moved from house-to-house hunting the virus.
