Ebola in Liberia

Outbreaks of Ebola virus disease (EVD) recorded in Liberia and captured by the World Health Organization's Disease Outbreak News archive (2014 – 2021). No currently active outbreaks involve this country.

Country context

Liberia has been under WHO surveillance for Ebola virus disease since 2014, when the country was at the epicenter of the largest Ebola outbreak in history. Since then, there have been three more recorded outbreaks in Liberia, with the latest one occurring in 2021. The country's geographic location and health system context likely contribute to the pattern of outbreaks, which may be influenced by factors such as border control, healthcare infrastructure, and community awareness.

Liberia currently does not have an active Ebola outbreak. However, the country's health authorities continue to monitor for potential cases and outbreaks, particularly in areas with high population density and limited access to healthcare. Readers can follow updates on the situation in Liberia through official sources, such as the World Health Organization and the Liberian Ministry of Health.
