<p>I found this statement powerful- <a href="http://www.ids.ac.uk/publication/local-engagement-in-ebola-outbreaks-and-beyond-in-sierra-leone">Oosterhoff and Wilkinson remind us that, in mistrusting ‘community’ and ‘culture’, the biomedical response places responsibility for disease transmission on individuals who are expected to reject ‘negative’ behaviours such as communal eating or burial traditions</a><span>, while failing to provide sufficient resources to those same individuals to enable their ‘appropriate’ management of the disease.</span></p>
<p><span>I am working with Pauline Oosterhoff and recently we had this discussion. Both community engagement and a strong link between communities and those providing medical services is essential for effective response.<a href="http://www.ids.ac.uk/publication/local-engagement-in-ebola-outbreaks-and-beyond-in-sierra-leone"><br/></a></span></p>
