Evaluation of Ebola virus disease surveillance system capability to promptly detect a new outbreak in Liberia.

Introduction: Liberia was heavily affected by the 2014-2016 Ebola virus disease (EVD) outbreak. With substantial investments in interventions to combat future outbreaks, it is hoped that Liberia is well prepared for a new incursion. We assessed the performance of the current EVD surveillance system in Liberia, focusing on its ability to promptly detect a new EVD outbreak.
