Global Health Case Competition 2020- The Aftermath of Ebola: Strengthening Health Systems in Liberia

Welcome!

This LibGuide was developed for the Global Health Case Competition 2020- The Aftermath of Ebola: Strengthening Health Systems in Liberia.

  • This page provides overviews of Liberia now, primary in statistics although there are some reports from the World Bank and the International Monetary Fund (IMF).
  • Search for articles has canned searches for PubMed and the Pitt libraries discovery system. Each of the searches focuses on a broad topic related to Liberia; the PubMed searches all include ebola as well.
  • Books, book chapters, special reports has links to books, book chapters, government reports, and other reports about Liberia (with and without ebola).

My contact information is on the right if you have any questions.

Good luck!
