Obama meets with Liberian leader to discuss Ebola recovery

WASHINGTON (AP) – President Barack Obama is meeting with Liberian President Ellen Johnson Sirleaf to discuss the response to the Ebola outbreak in West Africa and Liberia’s recovery from the deadly virus.

Sirleaf has urged the U.S. and other countries to sustain their assistance as Liberia turns its attention to responding to future outbreaks of disease.

She says needs include power projects to keep hospital equipment running, roads so the sick can access medical facilities, and clean water to prevent disease from spreading.

Sirleaf also met with Secretary of State John Kerry.
