Moving from Emergency Response to Post-Recovery: Lessons and Reflections from Ebola

The Ebola epidemic in West Africa engendered the biggest emergency response in recent times. Now, as the epidemic recedes, investments are shifting to post-recovery efforts that will hopefully strengthen health systems and communities as they face routine health service delivery as well as crisis situations in the future.

During this session our panelists will explore the following key questions:

  • What went well and what could have been done better in the emergency response to Ebola in light of post-recovery efforts?

  • How could emergency response efforts be made more sensitive to eventual post-recovery needs?

  • What are the costs and benefits of establishing an emergency response that is better integrated with the local health system?

  • How can emergency response efforts build and further strengthen resiliency in health systems?
