“The way to deal with this kind of situation where family, family members, are on the other side of the border - and what we consider international borders, for them is just the neighbourhood - is to give them the knowledge they need so they can take the right action when family members fall sick from Ebola. And the only way to do that is let them have a discussion about it, let’s support them to face that and talk about Ebola, in a frank, honest way at the community level and family level.”

On Monday (29 Dec) the Head of the United Nations Mission for Emergency Ebola Response (UNMEER) traveled to Liberia where he met President Ellen Sirleaf Johnson in the Capital, Monrovia, as well as with Ebola survivors and community leaders in a distant border outpost.
Banbury is finalizing his term as Head of the mission at the end of the month.
