MINNEAPOLIS — A nonprofit organization based in Minneapolis is setting up an Ebola treatment center in a remote area of Liberia, an effort that comes with logistical challenges.

The American Refugee Committee is using federal funds to erect what amounts to a tent city in the rural community of Fish Town near the border with Cote d’Ivoire.

Heather Buessler is the committee’s health technical adviser. Buessler said unlike more populated cities where there is a wide acceptance of Ebola, residents of rural communities doubt that the disease even exists because they’ve not seen many cases.

She said her organization is dealing with the logistics of setting up the treatment center and lodging for about 75 people and trucking in water, food and medical supplies.
