Liu said that particular attention should be paid to Liberia, where 71 new cases of Ebola were registered within the past two days only and 32 people died over the same period of time.

She said the situation was like “wartime’’ and required greater leadership from the World Health Organization (WHO) and stressed that there should be an upper hand on the epidemic over the next six months.

She insisted that more experts were needed on the ground to achieve this.
