How is Sierra Leone moving on from Ebola?

The World Health Organisation is expected to declare Sierra Leone free of Ebola on Nov 7 2015.

With almost 29 000 confirmed or suspected cases, the virus has taken just over 11 000 lives since the epidemic spread across West Africa in 2014.

5 live's Anna Foster travelled across Sierra Leone to find out how its survivors are learning to move on in the aftermath of the outbreak.

Flying into Sierra Leone the President Ernest Bai Koroma spoke exclusively to 5 live, telling Anna Foster he was disappointed with the international response to the crisis.

The World Health Organisation says it was the largest and most complex Ebola outbreak since the virus was first discovered in 1976.

Anna visited Kenema, where the outbreak was first recorded in Sierra Leone, to see how Ericson Touray is using the Kenema Ebola Survivors Football Club to help young people look to the future.

The Kenema Red Cross Ebola treatment centre has opened its graveyard so family members can now visit. It comes as the World Health Organisation is about to declare Sierra Leone free from the virus.

Anna joined Haura Binta Bah, an Ebola survivor, and Abdulai Fatorma, who lost three members of his family, as they searched for their loved ones' graves for the first time.

First, Anna, shows how the treatment centre worked and what it looks like now.

Dr Ian Crozier was flown home to America for treatment after he contracted Ebola working in a hospital in Sierra Leone.

Watch his reaction as Anna reunites him with a former friend and colleague from the Kenema hospital where the virus first entered the country.

Anna Foster presents 5 live Drive with Tony Livesey 4-7pm weekdays.
