Ebola Crisis -- The Urgent Need to Confront Ebola

Ebola is more than a public health crisis. The panic over Ebola has also exposed the severe governance challenges in West Africa. While struggling to cope with the scale of the outbreak, entire health systems—already stretched—have collapsed. Open Society’s newest effort is a $4 million grant, which will in part go towards the building of a treatment center in Grand Gedeh County, one of Liberia’s most rural provinces. Over the coming weeks, Partners in Health and Last Mile Health will build a top-notch medical facility in the province—exactly where the need is greatest.
