Monrovia – The Liberia Public Health Association has called for the inclusion of “competent and qualified” skilled members to join the ongoing fight against the coronavirus pandemic. She added that members of LPHA have already positioned themselves with a community-based approach strategic plan. Ms Martin added that the association intends to engage community leaders as appropriate human resource in their strategic plan to combat the disease. Although other professionals are already contributing to the response against COVID-19, the lack of more public health professionals with the requisite expertise in infectious disease control will delay the process of containing COVID-19, she cautioned. “LPHA solicits speedy response from the Government of Liberia through the Executive Committee on Coronavirus, headed by Madam Mary T. Broh.”
