The crisis for Ebola survivors continues long after the outbreak ends
In short: A physician who treated patients on the frontlines of the 2014 Liberian Ebola outbreak reveals the enduring reality of recovery. This talk explores why the medical battle ends, but the social and personal struggle for survivors is just beginning.
Dr. Soka Moses shares his experience as a newly trained physician during the height of the 2014 Ebola crisis in Liberia. Beyond the immediate medical emergency of treating highly contagious patients, he highlights the profound challenges and stigma that thousands of survivors continue to face today.
Having transitioned from frontline treatment to survivor studies, Moses now advocates for a more enlightened global approach to pandemic prevention. His work emphasizes that true recovery requires addressing the long-term social consequences of an epidemic, not just the initial infection.
