Hans Rosling will explain that it hasn’t merely demonstrated Africa’s weaknesses; it has also shown its strengths. He will be presenting a statistical analysis of how Ebola can be seen in the wider context of West Africa’s development.
For much of the last year, Hans Rosling has been an advisor to the Liberian government working with others on the right way to tackle Ebola. He will be joined in London by an audience and World Health Organisation’s Margaret Lamunu.
Understanding Ebola will air on Saturday, 28 March at 09:30 and 19:30 on BBC World News, channel 400 on DStv.
