Zusammenfassung:During the 2014-2016 Ebola Virus Disease (EVD) outbreak in Liberia health services collapsed due to chronic under-investment and the scale of the emergency. In response to the epidemic, Liberia’s Ministry of Health (MOH) and international partners opened Ebola Treatment Units (ETUs). The ETU’s primary purpose was to quarantine all suspected or confirmed EVD cases to reduce transmission. Despite the influx of supplies the ETU’s were not equipped to meet medical needs beyond basic EVD care. This data set was gathered to ascertain whether or not the outbreak was in decline in November and December 2014 by looking at numbers of suspect and confirmed cases in a large ETU in Monrovia, Liberia over time.
