Congrats Buddies!
J Kla Wisner Jr.Samuel DahngbePatricia Decontee Wolloh@Andrenna Kofi Sia Ekanem@Nyon Wleh (Princess Morton)Yah DixonJoelyn Zankah

Heartfelt congratulations to our esteemed colleagues from Cohort-1 in J Kla Wisner Jr., Nyon Wleh (alias Princess Morton), Samuel Dahngbe, Koffi, Patricia Decontee Wolloh, Sia Ekanem, Yah Dixon (alias Lovetta Dixon Saytue) and Joelyn Zankah on this incredible achievement! The successful defense of your thesis is a testament to your dedication, perseverance, and intellectual prowess. It's a momentous occasion that marks the culmination of years of hard work, sacrifice, and unwavering commitment.

Although it has been delayed, but the Lord was working it out for y’all good. Destiny delayed is never a destiny denied. Your quest for grads education and your desire to see an improved and vibrant health sector more specifically the health of the public led to y’all pursuing grad degrees in Public Health- thus giving birth to the first ever Public Health School/College at the University of Liberia Graduate School in 2019.

Since then the program has seen a rise in the number of students expressing passion for enrollment in its three pathways: Applied Epidemiology, Health Systems and Environmental Health.

History will remember you for the different roles you played in shaping the institution and for your heroic roles played during the 2020 COVID-19 pandemic in which the UL-MPHSV was launched. This initiative brought pride to the faculty and the School in totality. The banner of the UL-MPH School was raised high- impacting communities through awareness and seminars on different measures of combating the spread of COVID-19.

As you stand on the threshold of this new chapter in your academic journey, awaiting graduation, the leadership of UL-MPH Scholars want to express how proud we are of each of you. Your achievement is not only a personal triumph but also a reflection of the collective spirit of team work.

Your thesis defense is a beacon of excellence that shines brightly, inspiring others to strive for greatness. It's a reminder that our community is built on the foundation of collaboration, mutual respect, and a shared passion for learning.

As you celebrate this milestone, we hope you take a moment to cherish the memories, the laughter, and the tears that have brought you to this point. You've earned every ounce of joy and elation that comes with this accomplishment.

Here's to the next chapter of your journey! May your future be filled with boundless opportunities, continued growth, and the knowledge that your hard work will make a meaningful impact within the Liberian Public Health sector and the world at large.

Once again, congratulations on this remarkable achievement! You should be incredibly proud of yourselves. We eagerly await the ‘D- Day’ to close this chapter of your academic sojourn.

BRAVO COMRADES!!!! 🎉 🧑‍🎓 🧑‍🎓

This is indeed a welcoming news on the part of the UL administration and ULFA.🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

UL Reopens Monday, June 27

The University of Liberia (UL) is set to resume all academic activities this Monday, June 27, 2022 as planned, following a fruitful meeting facilitated by the Liberia Council of Churches between the Administration and Faculty.

The mediation meeting was held on UL Capitol Hill campus on Saturday, June 25, 2022, and had in attendance the Board of Trustees represented by the Chairman and a member, and some members of the University Cabinet.

Following the meeting, President Julius Julukon Sarwolo Nelson, Jr., wrote Dr. Edna Johnny, President of the University of Liberia Faculty Association (ULFA), thanking her leadership for the continuous sacrifices aimed at ensuring that UL students are prepared for the task ahead as future leaders.

The mediation meeting reached several vital decisions regarding the reopening of the school and the general progress of the University.

It was agreed that all employees on UL payroll that were affected by the double dipping situation will return to status quo ante, pending a judicial review of the stipulation in the Code of Conduct.

Secondly, a technical team will meet on Thursday, June 30, 2022 to do an inner review of the Social Security process prior to an external meeting with other stakeholders including the Ministry of Finance and Development Planning (MFDP).

It was also agreed in the meeting on Saturday that classes will resume on Monday and the ULFA will have a General Assembly on Wednesday, June 29, 2022 to inform their members on the outcome of the decisions reached in the meeting.

Additionally, it was agreed that information dissemination will improve between the UL Administration and ULFA. A technical team will meet in two weeks to review the Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) that was signed among the Government of Liberia, ULFA and UL Administration.

In the wake of this latest development, the Administration of the University of Liberia has called on all faculty members, students, administrative and support staff to prepare for the reopening of school this Monday, June 27.

KEY FACTS ABOUT MONKEYPOX

Vaccines used during the smallpox eradication programme also provided protection against monkeypox. Newer vaccines have been developed of which one has been approved for prevention of monkeypox.

Monkeypox is caused by monkeypox virus, a member of the Orthopoxvirus genus in the family Poxviridae.

Monkeypox is usually a self-limited disease with the symptoms lasting from 2 to 4 weeks. Severe cases can occur. In recent times, the case fatality ratio has been around 3–6%.

Monkeypox is transmitted to humans through close contact with an infected person or animal, or with material contaminated with the virus.

Monkeypox virus is transmitted from one person to another by close contact with lesions, body fluids, respiratory droplets and contaminated materials such as bedding.

Monkeypox is a viral zoonotic disease that occurs primarily in tropical rainforest areas of central and west Africa and is occasionally exported to other regions.

An antiviral agent developed for the treatment of smallpox has also been licensed for the treatment of monkeypox.

The clinical presentation of monkeypox resembles that of smallpox, a related orthopoxvirus infection which was declared eradicated worldwide in 1980.

Monkeypox is less contagious than smallpox and causes less severe illness.
Monkeypox typically presents clinically with fever, rash and swollen lymph nodes and may lead to a range of medical complications.
