In Association with
Global health security agenda and the U.S. CDC Ebola response in Liberia ��? An Epidemiologist��?s experience in Liberia
3rd International Conference on Epidemiology & Public Health
Kendra Stauffer
Posters-Accepted Abstracts: Epidemiology (Sunnyvale)
Abstract
The US CDC Ebola Virus Disease (EVD) response is the largest and longest in its outbreak response history with over
3000 employees being deployed to the Emergency Operations Center in Atlanta or in West Africa. Currently there are
over 25, 000 confirmed, probable or suspect cases in the three affected West African countries (Liberia, Guinea, and Sierra
Leone). Lofa County Liberia was the epicenter for EVD in the spring of 2014 when it spilled over from Guinea. Currently,
Lofa County has not had a case of EVD in over 130 days but there were over 350 cases of EVD between March and November
2014. Dr. Stauffer will discuss her experiences in Liberia where she has been deployed twice, as it relates to active case finding,
contact tracing, infection prevention and control assessments and management, safe burials, land border crossing evaluations,
laboratory capacity building, as well as the communication issues and psychosocial impacts surround EVD. The history of the
Global Health Security Agenda (GHSA) will also be discussed as it relates to EVD in West Africa and the roadmap forward in
West Africa. GHSA targets of preventing avoidable catastrophes, detecting threats early, and responding rapidly and effectively
to infectious diseases will be presented as they relate to EVD.
