MONROVIA, May 5 (LINA) -Former US President Bill Clinton has suggested that it is necessary to support Liberia’s post-Ebola recovery plan and assist President Ellen Johnson Sirleaf rebuild the country’s healthcare delivery system.

 
He specifically mentioned that the recovery plan must emphasize the training of more healthcare workers so just in case there is another outbreak of the disease, they will be able to deal with it expeditiously.
 
 According to an Executive Mansion release, former President Clinton made the comments to reporters at the Emergency Operations Center following a whirlwind visit to Liberia on Monday, May 4, where he held a meeting with the Incidence Management System and partners (local and international) who have assisted Liberia in its fight against the Ebola virus.
 
“We need to get the funds in here to train community health workers and other health practitioners to make sure you don’t get this disease,” he said.
 
Upon arrival in Liberia late in the afternoon, former President Clinton held a meeting with President Sirleaf and high-ranking government officials before his visit to the Emergency Operations Center.
 
President Clinton and his daughter Chelsea are on a nine-day, four-nation tour to observe foreign projects the Clinton Global Initiative has supported connected to healthcare, global warming, wildlife protection, education and agriculture.
 
He and his delegation have already visited Tanzania and Kenya, and are en route to Morocco on the last leg of the African tour.
 
This is the 12th time the president has visited Africa, and this is a nearly annual trip that he, and more recently Chelsea, take to visit the work the foundation supports.
