With 10,666 contracted cases and 4806 deaths claimed in Liberia, the country most stricken with Ebola virus disease (EVD), where the epidemic reached a peak in September 2015, was formally declared Ebola-free by the World Health Organization (WHO) on May 9, 2015. The success in promptly reversing the devastating epidemic could be attributed to the joint Training Department efforts from the Liberian authorities and other countries such as the United States, Germany, and China, and organizations including African Union and Medecins Sans Frontieres that have established numerous Ebola treatment centers (ETCs) in facilitating diagnosis and treatment of involved cases.
