EBOLA

We will be exploring Ebola as our infectious disease case study.
Start reading up on this disease now...
This book is interesting, and at least one student has bought their own copy of it, although we wouldn't expect you to do that. It's an accessible read, and explores the history of the virus. It's taken from a larger book called Spillover.


I'm putting together a page of links to read...

Who is the World Health Organisation…??

No, what I mean is WHO is the World Health Organisation…
As in WHO.

The website has a wealth of information on health, and students should become familiar with this if possible.
There are updates on mortality around the world, and child health, and a range of other materials.

Ensure that you know the meanings of all key terms.

It is also worth looking at the 21CC website, which has a Global Health section.

There are plenty of WHO campaigns such as Every Newborn.
