Town Hall Recording: Ebola Outbreak Situation and Response Update

In this live webinar, "Ebola Outbreak Situation and Response Update," Afya Founder & CEO Danielle Butin and members of Afya's leadership team shared the latest developments in the growing Ebola outbreak affecting Uganda and the Democratic Republic of the Congo and discussed the urgent humanitarian response needed to protect frontline healthcare workers. With no approved vaccine or proven treatment for the current Bundibugyo strain of the virus, healthcare workers are risking their lives to care for patients, often without adequate personal protective equipment (PPE). During this conversation, our panel explored the realities facing healthcare systems on the ground, why protecting healthcare workers is essential to containing outbreaks, and how coordinated global partnerships can help deliver lifesaving medical supplies where they are needed most. This webinar offers an inside look at the evolving outbreak, the challenges confronting frontline responders, and the role humanitarian organizations play in strengthening health systems during public health emergencies.
