12 June 2015 – As a result of the Ebola Virus Disease (EVD) outbreak in 2014, the Liberian Government made an appeal to international governments and national and international organisations to help combat this life‐threatening disease. The response from international organisations was very positive and Liberia received a lot of support in combating the virus. The EVD took away many innocent lives and left people psychologically traumatised and stigmatised.
