Liberians suffer from high mortality and morbidity resulting from a combination of poor living conditions and lack of quality health care (Kruk et al., 2011). One-third of Liberians suffer from malaria (WHO, 2008). Most children died from infectious diseases ranging from malaria to pneumonia and diarrhea (Kruk et al., 2011). In 2006, one-third of the population had at least one episode of disease; an estimated 6000 children died from complications (Kruk et al., 2010).
