Abstract
  • Liberia is a country in West Africa with a stormy history. In the last 30 years, Liberia has survived two civil wars and was the epicenter of the Ebola outbreak, leaving a fragile healthcare system. Despite strides in the reduction of childhood mortality in recent years, nearly 1 in 10 children will die before their fifth birthday in this small, coastal country
