Prior to the EVD outbreak in Liberia, there existed no specialized transport system to get laboratory-related specimens from health facilities to the laboratory for testing.
When Ebola struck in 2014, the Government of Liberia (GoL) through the Ministry of Health was compelled to establish a specialized specimen transport system for the EVD specimens in order to counter the deadly effects of the outbreak in the country which left about over 4,810 people dead.
Our couriers have to ride through muddy terrains, thick bushes, hot temperatures, and constant rain on occasion. We applaud their commitment to saving lives!
