Gerald Dennis and Ma-Kula Sirleaf, who survived the disease on September 9 and 21, 2014, indicated that such treatment would promote commonality, consideration and help to de-traumatize their troubled minds.
 
Dennis and Sirleaf made the separate appeal at the Information Ministry daily Ebola briefings Friday when they explained their ordeal in and out of the John F. Kennedy Ebola Treatment Units.
 
“People still feel we should be avoided because we once contracted the virus, but that is wrong, we must be treated with dignity and respect to avoid further trauma because we cannot infect you,” they noted.
 
Since the Ebola outbreak in March 2014, many survivors continued to experience abandonment and rejection by families and communities due to fear that the survivors may infect them.
