WHO: New Ebola Treatment Unit opens in Monrovia, Liberia - Oct 2014 

On 31 October, a new Ebola treatment unit opened at the former Ministry of Defence compound, on the outskirts of Monrovia, Liberia. This new unit adds another 200 beds to the almost 500 currently available for Ebola patients in the Liberian capital, which remains the epicentre of the outbreak.
While new cases continue to be reported in the capital city,providing Ebola patients with access to the best possible quality of treatment is essential to stop the transmission of the Ebola virus and preventing its further spread. “We need to ensure that Ebola patients are well taken care of and receive treatment on time,” says Dr. Alex Gasasira, acting WHO representative for Liberia. “This new Ebola treatment unit will be able to take care of and treat 200 Ebola patients at a time. It really feels like we built a little village.”
