It has been nearly 2 years since the Ebola outbreak of 2014 began. The largest outbreak in history, the CDC attributes 11,295 deaths to the virus. The epidemic primarily affected the West African countries of Guinea, Liberia, and Sierra Leone. So, what role does the United States have in helping the countries impacted by such outbreaks? What is our responsibility in providing financial and technical assistance to health programs on the global stage? Join the IOP as it welcomes Raj Shah, former Administrator of U.S. Agency for International Development, to discuss how USAID dealt with these questions and how the US can show leadership on the management of global health crises in the future. The discussion will be moderated by John Hewko, general secretary of Rotary International.
