About this course
Like no other event in recent history, the 2014 Ebola outbreak has made clear the fragility of existing health systems.

This four-week course provides the context in which to understand the Ebola outbreak — why now, and why did so many people suffer and die? The course lays out the global governance structure — what was the global response supposed to look like, and where did it fail?
