Ebola returns: How to fight outbreak amid defunding of global health? • FRANCE 24 English

Can border walls keep out pandemics? The World Health Organization officially branding the Ebola outbreak in eastern Congo a 'public health emergency of international concern.' As the death toll from the rare strain climbs, so does the number of contact cases. Ituri province may seem remote on a map but nowhere’s very far in a globalized world. We’ll ask about the outbreak… and the lessons learned from previous pandemics. Since Covid, the United States has quit the UN’s health body. Public aid, sciences budgets... they're trending down among all G-Seven nations. What does that mean for the WHO and for global health? Why is it that despite Covid, despite globalization, there’s such a backlash against vaccines, cross border cooperation and more broadly, against science itself?
