Caption:
Captured in 2014, this image shows a tricycle ambulance as it was being ferried to the Freetown-Lungi International Airport in Sierra Leone. This ambulance was used to transport suspected Ebola patients identified during the airport screening process. Passengers departing and entering Sierra Leone, were screened for symptoms indicative of illness, and the possibility of transporting Ebola across national borders. The 2014, Ebola epidemic affected not only Sierra Leone, but Guinea, northern Liberia, and Nigeria as well, and part of the problem, which enhanced dissemination of the pathogen, was the porosity of the borders between nations.
