National Public Health Institute of Liberia

Following the 2014 Ebola Virus Disease (EVD) outbreak, the “NPHIL ACT of 2016” created the National Public Health Institute (NPHIL) of Liberia. By establishing procedures to forecast, prevent, and respond to disease outbreaks and incidents of public health significance, the institution is set apart by the NPHIL Act as a corporate body with perpetual existence tasked with working with other agencies to enhance people’s health.
