China opens Ebola treatment centre in Liberia

 Liberian President Ellen Johnson Sirleaf speaks at the opening ceremony of the Ebola treatment center in Monrovia on Nov. 25, 2014

The fight against Ebola in Liberia has received a boost as China has constructed a 100-bed treatment center in the country’s capital, Monrovia.
The centre was opened on Tuesday, November 25, 2014, in a ceremony presided over by Liberian President Ellen Johnson Sirleaf.
The centre was reportedly finished within a month and the Asian country has also deployed 163 medical workers from an elite unit of the China’s People’s Liberation Army to work in the facility.
The current Ebola outbreak has claimed over 5000 lives but cases of the disease are said to be on the decline in Liberia.
