  • Liberia Turns Towards Normalcy As Fight Continues To Eradicate Ebola<br>MONROVIA, LIBERIA - JANUARY 29: Midwife Maima Johnson hands a newborn girl to mother Cecelia Mensah, 20, after delivering the child at the Star of the Sea Health Center on January 29, 2015 in the West Point township of Monrovia, Liberia. Midwives and health workers in the clinic have taken extra precautions throughout Liberia's Ebola epidemic to avoid becoming infected. The World Health Organization (WHO), announced that in the last week there were less than 100 new Ebola cases in West Africa, with a dramatic decrease in Liberia, where the numbers are in the single digits. The WHO said their focus has now shifted from slowing transmission to ending the epidemic. (Photo by John Moore/Getty Images)
