With 10,666 contracted cases and 4806 deaths claimed in Liberia, the country most stricken with Ebola virus disease (EVD), where the epidemic reached a peak in September 2015, was formally declared Ebola-free by the World Health Organization (WHO) on May 9, 2015. 1 The success in promptly reversing the devastating epidemic could be attributed to the joint Training Department efforts from the Liberian authorities and other countries such as the United States, Germany, and China, and organizations including African Union and Médecins Sans Frontières that have established numerous Ebola treatment centers (ETCs) in facilitating diagnosis and treatment of involved cases. 2The China ETC, independently run by the Chinese Government in response to the EVD epidemic crisis, has been formally transferred to local government as scheduled on May 13, 2015, symbolizing its decommissioning after stopping the EVD epidemic. China ETC has admitted 177 suspected, probable, or confirmed EVD cases; among which, 60% of confirmed EVD patients were cured within a 6-month mission. Additionally, the dedicated “zero infection” of 444 China ETC healthcare workers (359 Chinese medical staff and 85 local employees) further revealed the success of China in fighting against several deadly contagious diseases such as EVD and malaria. Besides adopting WHO recommended standards for wearing personal protection equipment (PPE), China ETC has provided some unique and invaluable experience in infection control and treatment center operation, which could accelerate the response to newly emerging infectious diseases; particularly in resource-constrained countries where medical supplies are nearly inadequate or exhausted.
