In late March 2014, Ebola virus disease (EVD) cases were reported in
Liberia, with epicenters in Lofa County and later in Montserrado County.
Although information about cases and health care infrastructure was
available for the two epicenters, little information was available regarding
remote counties in southeastern Liberia. During August 6–14, EVD cases,
health care infrastructure, and emergency preparedness were assessed in
collaboration with the Liberian Ministry of Health and Social Welfare in
four counties in southeastern Liberia: Grand Gedeh, Grand Kru, River Gee,
and Maryland. This report summarizes that assessment.
