Dear Colleagues,
The Ebola Virus is a significant current issue for those working in public health. WHO have declared that the conditions for a Public Health Emergency of International Concern under the International Health Regulations 2005 have been met. Port Health Officers are a key front line control against the spread of diseases of international concern.
Whilst public health is of utmost concern, ensuring that over-reactions do not occur is also vital in providing effective controls. How can PAGNet assist?
