Popis:	Effective surveillance for Ebola virus disease (EVD) was critical to control the 2013–2015 epidemic in West Africa. At the community level, this work was done by surveillance officers, who were responsible for conducting investigations to identify and refer suspected cases for testing and isolation. Surveillance was also conducted in health care facilities to identify potential cases of EVD and prevent spread of the disease within the facility.
