During the 2014-16 Ebola outbreak, Liberia suffered 2,544 deaths, including 8% of its doctors, nurses and midwives. The Government responded in 2016 with a seven-year Health Workforce Program (HWP), the goal of which was "the creation of a fit-for-purpose, motivated, and highly-skilled workforce." The US Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) with the support from the US President's Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR), established Resilient and Responsive Health Systems project to assist Liberia in strengthening health workforce and health systems. As the HWP approaches its final year, progress the numbers and skills of physicians, nurses and midwives have improved, through national and global support, and there have been some improvements in the overall health system. Improving health for everyone in Liberia is an ongoing process that requires continuing support and collaboration from national and global partners including US government agencies, UN agencies, academic and training institutions, private foundations, regional networks, and especially the people of Liberia.
在 2014 年至 2016 年的埃博拉疫情期间，利比里亚有 2544 人死亡，其中包括 8%的医生、护士和助产士。2016 年，政府出台了一项为期七年的卫生人力规划（HWP），其目标是“创建一支适合目的、有动力和高技能的劳动力队伍”。美国卫生资源和服务管理局（HRSA）在美总统艾滋病紧急救援计划（PEPFAR）的支持下，设立了“有韧性和响应力的卫生系统项目”，以协助利比里亚加强卫生人力和卫生系统。随着 HWP 接近最后一年，通过国家和全球的支持，医生、护士和助产士的数量和技能都有所提高，整个卫生系统也有了一些改善。改善利比里亚每个人的健康是一个持续的过程，需要包括美国政府机构、联合国机构、学术和培训机构、私人基金会、区域网络在内的国家和全球合作伙伴，以及利比里亚人民的持续支持和合作。
