Περίληψη:
Response to the Ebola crisis (ongoing event) has been less than
efficient. It has been monitored less than adequately by the
international community and has been coordinated poorly in the USA. The
event is used as a platform to examine deficiencies in public health
infrastructure, the limits of its political and financial support, and
how political outcomes can be affected. The need to tease out the
political determinants implicit in policy failure and disaster
management is argued in this Editorial. Failures mentioned include in
the Balkans and in Greece with ongoing austerity. Comments on the real
heroes of Ebola on the ground in Africa and the need for a charismatic
role for political leaders in public health are also included. Levett J.
