The World Health Organisation has again on Thursday in Geneva declared Sierra Leone free of a recent flare-up of the Ebola virus.
The declaration was marking the second time that western Africa rids itself of Ebola.
It said two incubation cycles of the virus, 42 days, have passed since the last person confirmed to have Ebola virus disease in the country was tested negative for a second time.
WHO said this marked another milestone in the country’s effort to defeat Ebola, hailing its government, partners and people on the effective, swift response to this latest outbreak. WHO continues to stress that Sierra Leone as well as Liberia and Guinea are still at risk of Ebola flare-ups, largely due to virus persistence in some survivors, and must remain on high alert and ready to respond.
WHO said it would continue to work with the government of Sierra Leone and partners to build a more resilient health system that can prevent, detect and respond to future outbreaks, and to revive and strengthen essential health services across the country.
