CDC's mission: We must act swiftly to prevent Ebola from becoming endemic in West Africa and posing an ongoing threat to the United States and the rest of the world. This funding supports expanded public health efforts in Guinea, Sierra Leone, and Liberia, and scales up efforts to prepare for and respond to any cases of Ebola and other emerging infections in countries that are most at risk.
