EBOLA: POST EBOLA 'BATTLE PLAN' UNVEILED BY SIERRA LEONE'S PRESIDENT

Sierra Leone's President, Ernest Bai Koroma has unveiled a post Ebola 'battle plan'to restore the West African country to the path of prosperity after the devastating epidemic.
Koroma said in astatement released on Friday,
"Beyond the immediate nine month recovery period, we will commence a two year plan during which we must resolve to restore Sierra Leone to the path of prosperity".
"We will work to reinvigorate the private sector as a source of growth, create jobs and livelihoods in our economy" he said while emphasising the need to improve roads and market access.
"Access to energy and water will be high priorities for the next few years as the programme is expected to be funded by more than $804million pledged at UN Conference on Ebola and earmarked for Sierra Leone".
While announcing the 'battle plan', Koroma said it was important "not only to finally defeat the virus  and get to zero cases, but to ensure the virus stays defeated".
In the country's health ministry current update, Sierra Leone has only 3 reported cases of the Ebola virus nationwide. Health officials say Tonkolili, north of the country reported one new case of Ebola on Saturday ending a 15 day run of no new infections.
