Interview with Liberian Assistant Minister of Health Tolbert Nyenswah about his vision for the development community’s role in a post-Ebola Liberia:

" Every facet of our society was affected. From women and children to social protections, our economy and financial system; the GDP suffered hugely because of Ebola.

"But in particular, multilateral donors and banks should attend to our top government priority: roads, power and energy. Those are the three things that we need funded.... "

"The development community must look at the building blocks we had in place toward a successful health care system. Moving forward, they can support us in health infrastructure, health care financing, laboratory surveillance and building resilient health education system, using teachers and expertise drawn from around the world. We need not only to restore our own potential but provide comprehensive health care for the Liberian people. This is the trajectory that the government had before Ebola, so we want to leverage some of the Ebola resources and get some additional resources to support our health system."
