Finally, The World Health Organisation (WHO) has declared Liberia Ebola free.
The WHO regards a country Ebola-free after a 42-day period without a new case - twice the maximum incubation period.
But even though Liberia has been declared free of the virus, correspondents say the outbreak will have a long-term impact, having damaged Liberia's already fragile economy.
The Ebola outbreak has claimed over 11,000 lives in the region, and remains active in Guinea and Sierra Leone.
