Bumpy road to zero - tackling Ebola in Sierra Leone- John Raine OBE
From a background in the police, John Raine went to Sierra Leone to head up an Ebola command centre. Sierra Leone is one of the most impoverished countries in the world, ranked 181 on the Human Development Index. John will speak about how the team used key aspects of geography to tackle the problem and get new infections down to zero.
More details on John’s experience were reported in the Cambridge News- http://www.cambridge-news.co.
