This book examines the issue of ethics in the context of the
provision of military health care in an epidemic. Outbreaks of
epidemics like Ebola trigger difficult ethical challenges for
civilian and military health care personnel. This book offers
theoretical reflections combined with reports from recent military
and NGO missions in the field. The authors of this volume focus on
military medical ethics adding a distinct voice to the topic of
epidemics and infectious diseases. While military health care
personnel are always crucially involved during disaster relief
operations and large-scale public health emergencies, most of the
current literature treats ethical issues during epidemics from a
more general perspective without taking into account the specifics
of the military context. The contributions in this volume provide
first-hand insights into some of the ethical issues encountered by
military health care personnel in missions during the Ebola
outbreak in 2014/2015. This practical perspective is complimented
by academic analyses and theoretical reflections on ethical issues
associated with epidemics. This book will be of much interest to
students of military studies, ethics and African politics.
