This book argues that the international community’s panicky response to the Ebola outbreak in West Africa failed to take account of local expertise and common sense. It shows that the humanitarian response to the disease was most effective in those areas where it supported these initiatives and actually hampered recovery when it ignored or disregarded local knowledge.
