SUMMARY:Inside the Ebola Response: From Vaccines and Treatments to Caring for Patients
DESCRIPTION:What does it take to care for patients and stop transmission during an Ebola outbreak\, and how does the response change when we are dealing with a strain for which we have far fewer proven tools? \nThis session will take a closer look at the science and practice of the 2026 Bundibugyo outbreak. Experts will discuss how patients are identified and cared for\, how treatment centers are established\, how healthcare workers are protected\, and how contact tracing\, isolation\, infection prevention\, and community engagement help interrupt transmission. The panel will also explore the rapidly evolving research landscape\, including new vaccine candidates and clinical trials testing potential treatments for Bundibugyo virus. \nThis webinar is free and open to the public and will conclude with a live Q&A session. \nRegister \n  \nSpeakers\n \nDaniel Bausch\, MD\, MPH&TM\, FASTMH\nVisiting Professor\, Global Health Centre\, Master in International and Development Studies Programme\, Geneva Graduate Institute\, Geneva\, Switzerland; Professor (Hon)\, Faculty of Infectious and Tropical Diseases\, Department of Disease Control\, London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine\, London\, UK \nProfessor Daniel Bausch\, MD\, MPH&TM\, FASTMH\, is an internationally recognized leader in global health research\, outbreak response\, education\, and programme implementation. He is trained in internal medicine\, infectious diseases\, tropical medicine\, and public health. Professor Bausch specializes in the control of emerging tropical diseases\, with over 25 years’ experience in sub-Saharan Africa\, Latin America\, and Asia combating viruses such as Ebola\, Marburg\, Lassa\, hantavirus\, and SARS coronaviruses.
