Fighting Ebola or Fighting Fear?
Featuring CHPRE's Treniese Polk, Project Manager, CareFirst
University Life Arlington sponsors this monthly series of academic discussions for members of the Arlington Campus community.
Overview:
The Ebola virus disease (formerly known as Ebola haemorrhagic fever) has claimed over 4,400 lives with its recent outbreak in West Africa. While originally being discovered in 1976, the most recent outbreak has claimed more lives than all cases combined from previous years. However, many questions and issues remain for government officials, health care providers and global leaders to address. What are the resources and needs of developing healthcare systems to control the spread of this virus? Should the United States close borders to countries with Ebola outbreaks? How has the disproportionate attention given to Ebola cases in the West shed light on the ongoing dialogue around global inequity?
