FAO is supporting the Government of Liberia through the Ministry of Health and Social Welfare (MoH) to maintain an active surveillance system for tracking and monitoring trends and outcomes of the prevalence of the Ebola Virus Disease in the country.
FAO has provided a two-day training session and several high-tech IT equipment including 18 tablet PCs and one computer with accessories. They will be used in the EpiCollect data collection and storage technology to enable staff of the MoH to collect, store and monitor data emanating from Ebola cases in the counties. The effort is essential in monitoring, reclassifying cases, alerting new cases and contacts and carrying out post-epidemic evaluation.
