A Conversation with Beth Cameron
A current Ebola outbreak in the Democratic Republic of Congo is threatening dense urban areas as it spreads. The global response to this outbreak has been complicated by regional political instability and violence, delaying international action, limiting resource distribution, and disrupting public health initiatives. In this conversation, Beth Cameron discussed her career in global health and biosecurity decision-making.
