History in Isolation - Ep 15 - The Ebola Outbreak 2013-16
In a three-way interview, Tom speaks with Liberian journalist Alpha Daffae Senkpeni and global health researcher Katherina Thomas about the most recent global health scare - the Ebola epidemic in Guinea, Sierra Leone and Liberia between 2013 & 2016.
As Europe and North America tries to recover from its staggering COVID-19 death toll, this conversation investigates the way West African healthcare developed in the aftermath of the Ebola crisis and explores why high-income countries did not learn from this epidemic.
Alpha has been reporting on the ground from Monrovia, Liberia's capital city since the Ebola outbreak began in 2013. He now reports for Liberian news organisation, 'Local Voices Liberia'.
Katherina was a freelance journalist in Liberia during the Ebola outbreak and has since returned to cover the Ebola outbreak in the Democratic Republic of Congo. She is a visiting researcher at MIT and Harvard University where she explores the intersection of global health and narratives.
