Massachusetts doctor Rick Sacra said Friday that he is lucky to be alive after recovering from Ebola.
Sacra also spoke of his 15 years of medical service delivering babies in Liberia, a country he said he deeply loves.
The Ebola crisis in Liberia was highlighted in President Obama's call for urgent action at the United Nations.
Liberia's President Ellen Johnson Sirleaf, addressed the U.N. via video. She said the disease's outbreak has caused a "precipitous decline in economic activity" and a "loss of income and jobs" for people in her country.
Sirleaf also sent a letter to Obama expressing the true state of desperation in her country.
"I am being honest with you when I say that at this rate, we will never break the transmission chain and the virus will overwhelm us," she wrote in the letter.
Torli Krua, a Liberian pastor and human rights activist, joined Jim Bradue of Broadside, to discuss the serious predicament plaguing Liberia.
