The Outlook Podcast Archive - Fighting Ebola in a war zone

Dr Jean-Christophe Shako is an epidemiologist who specialises in disease control. He is based in North Kivu in the Democratic Republic of Congo, a province that is currently facing a deadly outbreak of Ebola. It's a relentless job: it's the first Ebola crisis in a war zone and the presence of armed groups has seriously affected the response.
