Panel Topic

A serious epidemic outbreak that has potential to become pandemic in scope, as observed during the 2014 ebola virus disease crisis in West Africa, brings focus to the highly complex and unfolding host of challenges encountered in infectious disease crisis response. The several experienced and distinguished leaders, academics and professionals who join The 2015 ICRC Conference Global Expert Panel on Health Risk Communication for Ebola and Pandemics will discuss firsthand experiences with the ebola virus disease outbreak from several crisis communication vantage points. This panel discussion is intended as an educational forum designed to inform research with key new learnings from the frontlines of infectious health threat response, and to propose ongoing best practice recommendations.
