For article re Liberia’s success click here Read on here for info and video on the BPAF forum re “The Ebola Crisis”, which was discussed in the context of the more general crisis in the health care systems of several West African countries, and what actions concerned citizens might take.
Our discussion highlighted some of the unique clinical manifestations of Ebola (as an infectious disease) and the role that MD’s, Nurses and other care providers have already played in addressing the matter of Ebola in Liberia, Sierra Leone, Guinea-Conakry and other African countries. We also considered what can be done to strengthen the political support for more effective assistance from the U.S. and the international community for better equipping African countries to deal with this crisis, and help prevent its spread or recurrence.
The panel and program was moderated by the BPAF President, Dr. Joyce Hope Scott.
The three speakers were: > Mr. Garblah Page, who is Liberian and on the professional counselor staff of the Whittier Street Health Center in Boston. > Dr. Magueye Seck, who is Senegalese, a Professor of Sociology at Curry College in Massachusetts, and the founder of a health clinic in his home city of St. Louis in Senegal. > Dr. Nancy Miller, an epidemiologist at the Boston Medical Center.
