In Part 3 of The Fight Against Ebola, we return to Redemption Hospital in Monrovia and speak with Mohammed Sankoh, the director of the facility, which started as a holding center for patients but has since turned into a de facto treatment center. We also visit a nearby Doctors Without Borders (MSF) facility and learn about the challenges foreign healthcare workers face as they help manage the crisis.
The current Ebola outbreak in West Africa began in Guinea in December 2013. From there, it quickly spread to Liberia and Sierra Leone. Cases also appeared in Senegal and Nigeria, and there was another outbreak in the Democratic Republic of the Congo. Today, Liberia is at the center of the epidemic, with more than 3,000 cases of infection. About half of them have been fatal.
As President Barack Obama announced that he would be sending American military personnel to West Africa to help combat the epidemic, VICE News traveled to the Liberian capital of Monrovia to spend time with those on the front lines of the outbreak.

There are some true heroes stepping up during difficult times... This doctor they interviewed is one of them.
That doctor is amazing.
That head doctor is an intense guy! He seems really intelligent and I hope he gets the help he deserves
The head doctor seems to have more sense than the entire CDC.
Medical infrastructure even in the uk is corrupt as hell
"So my dear, let me tell you: Just see what you *can* see and go back home, and meet your family there." That doctor is an amazing man.
With age comes wisdom!
That doctor sent chills down my spine. One mistake taking that stuff off and you are infected.....
Wow, Mohammed Sankoh gave them really powerful words, best of luck to the victims.
That health director is very wise.
Those medical workers are true heros. They are incredible in their selflessness.
This man they interviewed has such a remarkable way of speaking, he is captivating
That doctor is really passionate ,really educated and really well spoken.
All jokes aside let's pray for them that's the least we can do. Don't forget they're humans!!!!
Pray? How about doing something that works and donate money, there's plenty of programs to donate to to help, every dollar helps
***** Uh no. No one wishes to be a puking & shitting human tornado.
pray? thats what ive been hearing from almost a religious people (im not saying im one, im catholic ) but God is too busy with the universe and Jesus is maybe helping you to move your ass and donate, but all u do is pray -_-
Yeah people should pray cause you know, praying worked all throughout history.
Oh wait that's complete horseshit.
chewbaccafree 24 who do think is really getting that money?
See what you can see and go back home to your families great advice glad they listened to him
I got goosebumps listening to that man...very wise and very very nice advice, im too glad they listened...but im not gonna say that im not curious what would have happened if they actually didnt listen and went there
The Doctor seemed a very wise man
"Just see what you can see and go back home and meet your family there."
That is some good advice.
BIG RESPECT TO THE DOCTOR!!!!
That Doc is a total badass. You guys are all heroes.
that doctor has more sense than the entire cdc
the guy Mohammed, he is like a wise man I was so focused while he was talking.
Mohammed Sankoh seems like such a nice man. I wish him the best.
That first doctor has a hell of a voice
God bless Mr. Mohammed Sankoh. The world needs more people like him.
That doctor was a cool dude.
I'm chilled to my core, that doctor says it all and it's for real, this is not a movie.
If this was not real and instead was a movie this doctor would definitely win an Oscar..... 2:00 he could be a *AWESOME ACTOR* wow!
Thank you Vice for breaking my heart again. Thank god for that baby and his courageous dad. I'm glad you ended this series with that tiny little glimmer of hope.
We need more doctors like Dr. Sankoh. He is a tough man and will make it through this crisis. Still, I wish him all the best.
Just wanted to pause this video and commend this doctor. Seriously doing an amazing job and putting humanity first before his own life.
THANK YOU VICE! You are the only media covering this in detail and not fear-mongering. You actually have a guy on the ground amazing! Mad respect.
"when the fear consumes you, the decease equally consumes you" - the guy said some good things
I love the Liberian accent.
Gay
Its Moe UnGay
Its Moe I love the accent too
I was hanging on to the doctor's every word. I love that accent!!
yes..Me too
That doctor is very wise
Msf are doing some incredible work out there. Wouldn't have had a clue about the scale of the problems caused by this disease from the mainstream news channels. Definitely feel more aware and will be sharing this with family and friends. Thanks
Terrific series. Keep up the good work!
this doctor is so intense i love him!
4:44 Brilliant man, that's gravitas right there.
People, Dominic is a real man!
He survived Ebola, and when his little nephew James got sick with Ebola.....he volunteered to stay with the young kid.....which probably means the world to that scared little kid.
Thumbs up to you Dominic, glad you recovered, and you are truly a role model for that kid. Not to mention for others to.
Amazing series! Thank you for reporting on this issue!
That doctor was amazing.
*Hats off* to the doctors and to the medical workers.
Wow that doctor speaks in very wise tones, really listening to every single word carefully when he speaks.
This is sooo Heartbreaking!
2:00 well said. well said
This was the best vice series I've seen in a looong time.
Excellent reporting vice. Keep em' coming.
So much wisdom from the old doctor.
Excellent series!!!
Awesome documentary Vice, super informative.
upload more of this
Prayers go out to those in Africa and cant wait to see how far this goes
I can't even imagine the stress that doctor is under, crazy
I cannot tell you how much I love these reportages. Keep it up VICE!
Just those couple people that survived gave me hope
I pay much respect to those people who anonymously helps others in need! also Vice team who tries to report it! even if i don't know the name of those doctors and volunteers I admire you
3:21 I like the mans logic. that's what you call experience..
what a wise man that doctor is
why did your turn an already uploaded full length documentary into parts.
Where are all the extremists from the west who likes to do the ultimate extreme things, like climbing M.t. Everest while ironing a tuxedo and at the same time learning a new instrument? Go to west Africa and do the ultimate extreme and at the same time help some people for a change.
Cus ain't nobody want Ebola
The doctor has a huge sense of common and is very intelligent... too bad that they lacked infrastructure to cope with that..
Much respect for the healthcare workers
That doctor was incredibly wise
Wow what a clever man from that clinic director clinically competent and passionate yet poorly equipped, I say kudos to him. At least people are being saved now
That dude in the beginning is awesome, i love the way he speaks.
..the LoOk on the man's face after he asked: "You want to go into the treatment center?"
F'n COMEDY !!!
0:10
Pushing the limit wasn't they!! Great ADVICE!!!
4:50
That's some heavy shit.
This is REAL fucken journalism here.
What happened to last chance high series you guys havent been uploading that for 3 or 4 monts now
These people being interviewed are extremely wise. If only some more of my fellow Americans could be that way. Great reporting VICE News.
Them aid workers and helpers have some balls of steel being in that environment.
Those subtitles are a bit off, at 2:40 he says "to the list" as in 'precisely recorded', not "able to calculate at least" as the subtitles read. Great reporting and great job providing subtitles though!
He says 'to the least' as in, with his broken English, his way of saying 'measuring down to the finest detail' or 'most accurately'. Or as you put it, 'precisely'.
I guessed it's "to the list" because at 2:36 he makes a gesture like he was holding a paper/clipboard when he says the phrase we're referring to, either way his message got across so it doesn't matter
Epic doctor!
In Part 3 of The Fight Against Ebola, we return to Redemption Hospital in Monrovia and speak with Mohammed Sankoh, the director of the facility, which started as a holding center for patients but has since turned into a de facto treatment center.
Watch Part 1: bit.ly/Ebola-Part-1
Watch Part 2: bit.ly/Ebola-Part-2
there is brave, and heroic...and then there is stupid...don't let your people go into these treatment centers. We get it! The shit is deadly and nasty. We don't need him gettin sick and bringing it home..
god bless vice for sharing such news. Without vice i'd have to rely on CNN for partially correct information.
Great series!
***** You can only get ebola through bodily fluids such as blood or faeces.
EDIT: sneezes may spread it too I believe as this is a fluid too
***** ...not one verified case, no images, no patients in treatment...
A wise man indeed!
That doctor Is a smart man
Great job guys putting your lives at risk for current events. Thats true journalism at its finest.
Praying!
Sweet God help these people please !!!!
Doctor brah at 4:47 is a hero!
This is just so sad. I pray a cure is found soon.
Love this channel!
Oh.....
That's all I can really say
Dr. Mohammed is really wise!
no room for anyone, yet every visible bed is empty @ 6:22
This doctor is a living legend! Hope he is alive and well!
I found a picture and an article from 2017 quoting him. He survived the 2014 Ebola pandemic. I do not know if he is still alive today.
2:17 WRONG!!!!! That changed today.
06:40 as he says that and I see all those empty beds behind him.. hm...
couldn't be another reason no reporters have been let into the "treatment center" could there?
Dr. Mohammed Sankoh is very wise
7:18 loll that dad and his baby
man this shit is scary...props to the selfless people who travel from Europe and the Americas to help these poor people.
Me personally I couldn't do it even for a million dollars.
Also the head doctor of that Hospital could have a second career as a Actor not saying he was faking his demeanor but damn the way he talked was super tense.
This guy is like my Math teacher Mr. Mata lol
he even says my dear...
Love u vice
Damn, that doctor was intense.
Check the interview startin around 6:20. The guys says it was horrible how they had to turn patients away, because there was no space... Really emotional for him. Heartbreaking even...
But somehow giving an interview inside a tent with at least two dozen empty cots is somehow more important for him than getting the people, who heartbreakingly have to be turned away, to these beds.
Pretty twisted priorities.
Instead of hoping that America actually gains some empathy for people suffering from this, the only thing we can do is strike fear into America so it gets to the point that our government realizes that if they don't get ebola under control in Africa that the epidemic will EASILY spread across the world killing us all. We essentially have to ask America to be selfish for their own safety because we have the medical reliance to stop this from spreading. It's just sad that we can't have privileged countries help out of good will.
We are building 17 hospitals.... what is the rest of the world doing about anything? and why should we always be the only ones to help?
US is not the only country who is trying to help.
Internet Monster I know we are not but nobody even comes close to what we are doing. That is a fact.
I'm British and all we've done is send a lot of workers. Canada is helping with things too. It's disgusting that the eu and the rest of he world have the attitude that "America can deal with it".
What about the trillion western dollars in aid over the past 40 years?
I'm sorry I know this is a serious topic & it is something sad to see and to witness it or experience it are just much more difficult, . . . But daamnnn, the reporter is mighty fine ;)
I know this is a serious subject with people dying but I couldn't help but laugh at the way that doctor said "little or none at allllllllllllllll" 2:50
Can you guys cover the US making the hospitals next. I want to see if they are permanent or temporary. How fast are they making them. What do they think of the effort. ect ect.
Also I suggest that you make that MSF link at the end (9:16) a link as it will get more people who are too lazy to type it in but would at least click on it.
Thank goodness that stuff is curable.
*****
Didn't know about that, thanks.
Although now I'm very terrified. : I
Okay, thats comforting. Its just a bit scary hearing about an epidemic after watching a couple lets plays of Plague Inc not long ago. Its a game about you controlling a disease to kill the entire human race. : p
These facilities do not have space.. He says in a tent full of empty beds. 6:40
