Damage control over prevention: Health system 'closing gaps instead of pushing forward'



Damage control over prevention: Health system 'closing gaps instead of pushing forward'
Franรงois Picard is pleased to welcome Anne Moore, Professor of Biochemistry at University College Cork. She is warning about the seriousness of the latest Ebola outbreak linked to the rare Bundibugyo strain. While tests and vaccines exist for the Zaire strain, Professor Moore says โ€œwe donโ€™t yet have proof that vaccines work against the current strainโ€ and that tests have not yet been designed to detect Bundibugyo. Moore stressed that shrinking international funding is weakening the global response. โ€œWeโ€™re plugging gaps instead of deploying the full countermeasures we could.โ€ Moore broadens her analysis beyond virology, arguing for international solidarity and institutional resilience.
