• Description:
  In addition to the devastating effects on the healthcare workforce in Guinea, Liberia, and Sierra Leone, the Ebola epidemic severely impacted the provision of healthcare services and caused setbacks in the treatment and control of HIV, tuberculosis, and malaria. Because of reduced access to healthcare services in the three most affected countries, an estimated additional 10,600 lives were lost to HIV, tuberculosis, and malaria during the epidemic based on the assumption of an approximate 50% reduction in healthcare services in these three countries.
