Ebola in the rear-view mirror
This paper examines how past experience and legacies of epidemics shaped Sierra Leone's response to COVID-19 and how these influences evolved over time. COVID-19 unfolded in the wake of the West African Ebola epidemic (2013-2016), a crisis which was unprecedented in scale. Despite differing markedly in both transmission patterns and clinical outcomes, the Sierra Leonean government repeatedly invoked Ebola when responding to COVID-19, framing the …
Negotiating Intersecting Precarities
This article shares findings on COVID-19 in Africa across 2020 to examine concepts and practices of epidemic preparedness and response. Amidst uncertainties about the trajectory of COVID-19, the stages of emergency response emerge in practice as interconnected. We illustrate how complex dynamics manifest as diverse actors interpret and modify approaches according to contexts and experiences. We suggest that the concept of "intersecting precaritie…
Towards an understanding of resilience
The recent outbreak of Ebola Virus Disease (EVD) in West Africa has drawn attention to the role and responsiveness of health systems in the face of shock. It brought into sharp focus the idea that health systems need not only to be stronger but also more 'resilient'. In this article, we argue that responding to shocks is an important aspect of resilience, examining the health system behaviour in the face of four types of contemporary shocks: the …
Building resilient health systems
Health system resilience begins with measurement of critical capacities ahead of crisis say Margaret E Kruk and colleagues
Engaging ‘communities’
The recent Ebola epidemic in West Africa highlights how engaging with the sociocultural dimensions of epidemics is critical to mounting an effective outbreak response. Community engagement was pivotal to ending the epidemic and will be to post-Ebola recovery, health system strengthening and future epidemic preparedness and response. Extensive literatures in the social sciences have emphasized how simple notions of community, which project solidar…
Epistemologies of Ebola
By September 2014, it was clear that conventional approaches to containing the spread of Ebola in West Africa were failing. Public health teams were often met with fear, and efforts to treat patients and curtail population movement frequently backfired. Both governments and international agencies recognized that anthropological expertise was essential if locally acceptable, community-based interventions to interrupt transmission were to be design…
PP71 Cultures of Evidence Among Decision-Makers in Non-Health Fields
Background Many non-health public policy sectors which form part of local government may have impacts on population health outcomes. Decision-makers’ views about research evidence, and their practices of evidence use, are less well understood in these sectors than in healthcare or public health. Methods Systematic review (PRISMA) of qualitative evidence. A range of sources were searched. Studies were included if: they included local policy-makers…
The evolution of global health teaching in undergraduate medical curricula
BACKGROUND: Since the early 1990s there has been a burgeoning interest in global health teaching in undergraduate medical curricula. In this article we trace the evolution of this teaching and present recommendations for how the discipline might develop in future years. DISCUSSION: Undergraduate global health teaching has seen a marked growth over the past ten years, partly as a response to student demand and partly due to increasing globalizatio…
PS33 Health-Seeking Behaviour in the Era of Free Healthcare in Urban Slums in Sierra Leone
Background Sierra Leone has child health statistics which are amongst the worst in the world. In April 2010, the Government of Sierra Leone launched a Free Health Care Initiative (FHCI), eliminating user fees in government facilities for children under the age of five, as well as pregnant and lactating women. Data from Ola During Children’s Hospital (ODCH), the country’s only government-run tertiary paediatric hospital, suggests that the FHCI has…
