88%

Up to 69% of Ebola cases in Sierra Leone traced to burial practices.

A 2014 WHO study found that traditional funeral rites — where mourners wash and touch the deceased — were a primary transmission route. Ebola victims are most contagious after death, making body contact extremely dangerous.

Sen. Graham co-authored the 2014 Veterans Access to Care Act.

The landmark law gave veterans the right to see private doctors when VA wait times exceeded 30 days or 40 miles. It followed a scandal revealing veterans died awaiting care at VA facilities.
