Health experts say indigenous healers cannot be ignored as Sierra Leone rebuilds after deadly disease epidemic.
Freetown, Sierra Leone - A year and a half after the Ebola outbreak began there is at last good news for Sierra Leone.
On Saturday it is expected the country will reach 42 days since the last recorded case, meaning it will be officially declared Ebola free.
Many of the almost 4,000 Sierra Leoneans killed by Ebola were medical personnel, says the World Health Organization. The small West African nation suffered the most cases and healthcare has "been extremely compromised with a disproportionate number of workers dying", according to a report on the United Nations' ReliefWeb site.
