Rapid Response Center in Liberia

Description

Rapid Response Center in Jene-Wonde, Grand Cape Mount, Liberia, December, 2014. Beginning in early October 2014, CDC and partners, including UNICEF, designed a strategy of rapid isolation and treatment of Ebola in Liberia -RITE-. This strategy controlled outbreaks faster, and supported the care of patients in remote areas, cutting the time to control outbreaks in half, and doubling survival rates.
