Quote of the Day: President Obama on our Disaster and Response Team (DART) in Liberia: We deployed this DART team to West Africa back in early August. They’re now the strategic and operational backbone of America’s response. They’ve increased the number of Ebola treatment units and burial teams. They’ve expanded the pipeline of medical personnel and equipment and supplies. They’ve launched an aggressive education campaign in-country. The bottom line is, is that they’re doing what it takes to make sure that medical personnel and health care workers from all countries have what they need to get the job done. And the good news is that its starting to have an impact. Based on the conversations that I had today with them, they’re starting to see some progress in Liberia, and the infrastructure is beginning to get built out. Thats thanks to the incredible work and dedication of folks from the United States who are leading the way in helping Liberia, Guinea and Sierra Leone.
