UNMEER (United Nations Mission for Ebola Emergency Response)

UNMEER, the United Nations Mission for Ebola Emergency Response, was established in 2014 to coordinate global efforts in controlling the deadly Ebola outbreak in West Africa. Its mission was to support affected countries by providing medical supplies, deploying healthcare workers, and enhancing disease surveillance and community engagement. UNMEER aimed to contain the virus quickly, prevent its spread, and strengthen health systems. It acted as a central orchestrator to ensure efficient and unified responses tailored to the crisis, ultimately saving lives and helping communities recover from the epidemic.
