1. “We reaffirm the need, given the strong links uniting all the countries of our subregion, to strengthen our unity of action, naturally with the support international community, and work together to defeat the epidemic. I can assure you, Mr. President, of the full readiness of Government of Senegal to cooperate with the international community in order to curb this extraordinary crisis, which requires a response commensurate with its gravity.”

2. “It mustbe said that, right from the start, on 21 March, as this epidemic was taking hold in the West African subregion, Senegal immediately implemented a strategy of prevention and epidemiological monitoring, as well as a communication and outreach plan. That strategy has been particularly effective because, to date, there has not been a single case of Ebola virus infection in the country. The only case in Senegal, brought in from outside, was quickly taken up by Senegalese doctors and our health system, and that patient is now completely cured of the virus, his life saved. All persons who were in contact with the foreign patient were placed under observation for 21 days and their tests thankfully came back negative.”

3. “Fortunately, that call received a positive response, which we welcome. I also warmly welcome the health protection efforts and mechanisms already implemented by States of the West African subregion affected by this terrible epidemic. I would also like to include in that appreciation the international partners, in particular other States and civil society organizations, that have brought their valuable assistance to countries affected by the epidemic. In that regard, I reaffirm Senegal's full support for brotherly and friendly countries affected by the Ebola epidemic and reiterate our readiness to work to strengthen the global partnership in the area of health emergencies and the establishment of humanitarian corridors.”

4. “Mr. Sylla (Senegal) (spoke in French): Let me express at the start of my statement my great pleasure at seeing the United States of America assume the presidency of the Security Council and to affirm on this occasion all the support of my delegation. Through me, my delegation wishes to reiterate its sincere thanks to the members of the Security Council for their initiative in drafting resolution 2177 (2014), whose adoption will certainly allow for better mobilization of the international community's efforts and means towards countries affected by the epidemic. At the most recent United States-Africa Summit, Mr. Macky Sall, President of the Republic of Senegal, alerted the international community that the Ebola epidemic was not just an African matter but a global one, as the virus knows nothing of borders.”
