The Embassy of the Republic of Liberia in Ghana has allayed fears that the country is nearing collapse as a result of the deadly Ebola epidemic.

According the the Embassy, the epidemic “is under control” in the country.

So for over 3,000 affected persons have been killed.

Before, two three months ago, there were no beds, but now there are empty beds,” she indicated.

She added that personnel of the ambulance service in the country “are saying that they do have enough time to relax and even make fun. So that is a good sign that the awareness is sinking in and things are getting better.”

Meanwhile, the World Health Organization (WHO) has revealed that health-care officials would need close to six months to tackle the Ebola outbreak in the worsely affected countries – Liberia, Guinea and Sierra Leone.

Follows the unanimous adoption of UN has set up the UN Mission for Ebola Emergency Response (UNMEER) in Accra to provide the operational framework and leadership to ensure the rapid, effective and coherent action necessary to stop the Ebola outbreak.
