“Never deprive someone of hope; it might be all they have.” Project HOPE is a global health and humanitarian aid non-governmental organization founded by Dr. William B. Walsh in 1958.  Their first operations in Africa began in the mid-1960s in Guinea; and since then, they have reached 13 countries in Africa.   Project Hope began its work in Sierra Leone during the 2014 Ebola Epidemic to help combat the outbreak. During this period, the organization recognized the need to increase capacity to improve the health outcomes of women, newborns, and children, which has now become the primary focus of their work in the country. The organization has collaborated with the responsive leadership at the Ministry of Health to lower the rate of maternal mortality from 1360 per 100,000 live births to the current rate of 443. Furthermore, Sierra Leone have developed a 5-point strategy of reducing the maternal mortality rate to less than 300 per 100,000 live births by 2025.      Mvemba is joined by Dr. Uche Ralph-Opara, the Chief Health Officer at Project HOPE to discuss the current situation, work, and progress made by Project Hope in improving maternal health crisis in Sierra Leone.   

Today we honor Paul Harvey's "The Rest of the Story" with this unbelievable tale. You'll never guess who it is about, but along the way the story touches Martin Luther King, Jr, Mbutu Sese Seko, Pearl Harbor, Goucher College, Rudolf Hess, Erwin Rommel, Apollo 13, the Israeli Air Force, Isaroku Yamamoto, and the Ebola Epidemic. All connected with one amazing revelation. 

In today's conversation Rob and Ken are joined by Sesay Abdul Rashid from Makeni Town, Sierra Leone where he and his family noticed hundreds of children living out on the streets, having lost their families due to the Ebola Epidemic in 2014. Previously a teacher, Sesay and his family began to recognize the knock-on effects of Ebola. Parents were dying, leaving children to fend for themselves, especially girls as they are most vulnerable to exploitation. The family volunteered to take vulnerable girls into their home to provide shelter, love and care. As a result, the Hope Orphanage was born, hosting 74 children. To this day, the orphanage receives no funding from the government and the family pays to care for the girls, covering their education, clothes and medical needs out of their own pockets. Sesay and his family would love to expand their orphanage and support more children. They have partnered with Punk 4 The Homeless, which puts on charity punk gigs in the U.K., to raise the necessary funds to expand the orphanage and care for the girls. We are invited to participate in the work of the orphanage to care for these girls by donating to the Orphanage here.

In this episode, we talk to Ethan Zuckerman, associate professor at the University of Massachusetts Amherst, where he teaches public policy, communication, and information. We discuss his paper "Digital Health Communication and Global Public Influence: A Study of the Ebola Epidemic" which was published in the Journal of Health Communication in 2017. His co-authors on this paper include technical and visualization experts (Hal Roberts and Sands Alden Fish II), a global public health expert (Brittany Seymour), and expert in education policy (Emily Robinson). Ethan talks about creating Media Cloud--an open-source platform for media analysis that tracks millions of stories published online--over the course of two decades and the "fearsome process" of scaling it up. He also discussed with us being an unconventional "punk-rock" academic and advice to "scratch your deep itch" when it comes to choosing which research directions to pursue.

In 2014, an Ebola epidemic broke out in three countries of West Africa–Liberia, Guinea and Sierra Leone. Perhaps the first case was a toddler who became ill late in 2013, but it didn’t take long for the disease to spread. Medical care is rudimentary in the rural areas of these countries, and international organizations did […]

Before the Coronavirus, there was Ebola. AEI looks back at a June 2019 conversation about lessons learned and challenges faced in the last health crisis. The post https://www.aei.org/multimedia/containing-ebola-how-to-fight-the-drcs-ebola-epidemic/ (Containing Ebola: How to fight the DRC's Ebola Epidemic) appeared first on https://www.aei.org (American Enterprise Institute - AEI).

When Ebola spread through Western Africa in 2014, it killed more than 11,000 people. Now it’s back – and the Democratic Republic of Congo is at its epicenter in a critical phase. We spoke to Jacques David, WFP communications officer, at how WFP is helping fight ebola with food. 

Join us in our discussion with Paul Skidmore, Founder and CEO of Rising Academy Network, which was founded in Sierra Leone in 2014 to build schools and provide access to quality emergency education to children that were otherwise unable to due to the Ebola Epidemic.

Researchers at the University of Geneva in Switzerland have created the Beekee Box, a standalone box that can generate a wireless network that enables users to log on to a learning platform without the internet or electricity.The standalone box was designed for people in remote areas with no connectivity, like people in refugee camps or war zones. It generates a local wireless network that anyone who has a device (and access) can connect to the information hosted on the platform. According to the researchers, it could be a useful tool for training and teaching.The enclosure is 3D-printed in plastic and the unit includes a microcomputer and battery. The battery works for up to three hours, though you can add an external battery that adds up to seven more hours - the battery can be charged using solar power. The box is 10 cm high, 6.5 cm wide and can hold up to 256 GB.According to the researchers, it takes about nine hours to 3D print the case and 20 minutes to assemble it. With the programming, the average box can be ready in 10 hours and costs about $150 in materials.The Beekee box is currently being tested in a Kenyan refugee camp, which is home to 190,000 people. Computers in the camp are scarce and traveling throughout the camp is dangerous, so the box is being used to offer remote education courses to refugees who do have access to smartphones or other devices.The Beekee Box could also be used in crisis situations, like the Ebola epidemic in Congo. The team is currently working with Doctors Without Borders to be able to provide the necessary medical information to help treat emergency medical care, even if there is no power or internet available in the region.

When the Ebola virus spread rapidly throughout parts of West Africa in 2014, epidemiologists faced the challenge of containing a disease they knew little about. But their biggest blind spots were cultural and historical realities in Guinea, Sierra Leone and Liberia that should have been taken into account during the crisis. That’s according to anthropologist Paul Richards, who wrote about the topic in his recent book, “Ebola: How a People's Science Helped End an Epidemic.”

Between 2014 and 2016 the Ebola Virus epidemic raged in Liberia, Guinea and Sierra Leone. The disease was spreading faster than the global health care community could fight it. It would take innovative measures to change the cultural practices which were responsible for spreading the virus such as music. In this episode we talk to Tropical Disease experts Colin Browne and Natalie Mounter from King's College Sierra Leone Partnership, Yasmie Al Kourdi from Médecins Sans Frontières and we listen to music by TYB Boyz, Jimmy B, Shadow, Block Jones and the song Africa Stop Ebola which features the Malian musicians Amadou & Mariam, Salif Keita, Oumou Sangaré and Kandia Kouyaté, the Guinean singers Mory Kante and Sia Tolno, the Ivorian reggae star Tiken Jah Fakoly, the Congolese vocalist Barbara Kanam and the Senegalese rapper Didier Awadi.

The Ebola crisis has given rise to the usual epidemic of misinformation, overreaction and lack of preparedness by individuals and business. Will we ever learn? The situation is undeniably serious, especially in the African nations of Sierra Leone, Liberia and Guinea. Now that the disease has reached American shores, however, we're seeing a public response that doesn't always match up with its actual nature. It’s a case of simultaneous overreaction and underreaction, says John Rose, chief operating officer with iJet International, a provider of risk-management advice to multinational corporations and governmental organizations. On this episode, Rose acknowledges the existence of some unanswered questions about the disease. But he also offers valuable guidance on how companies can craft a proactive business-continuity plan, and respond to the real threat of the Ebola virus. ''Find out why a little fear might not be a bad thing.''

November 4, 2014 | As the Ebola epidemic continues to grow in West Africa, hospitals across the U.S. are putting protocols in place to prepare themselves in the event that an Ebola patient is admitted to their facility. We’ve already seen examples of successful containment and treatment. As fear over Ebola reaches a fever pitch in the US media, hospitals will be on the front line not only in treating the virus, but also in reassuring their patients and the public.

Airport screenings for Ebola may not be very effective in actually detecting the disease but they could help lessen the “psychological risk” of panic related to the outbreak. See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.
