Diversity and Cultural Competence in the Health Sector: Ebola
Affected Countries in West Africa examines the 2014-2016 Ebola
crisis in three West African countries. The authors argue that this
public health disaster was exacerbated by the lack of cultural
competency in emergency response efforts. Considering the role of
culture in the social, economic, health-related, and political
dynamics that made these countries particularly vulnerable to the
disease and how culturally competent approaches could have been
employed sooner to reduce risk and prevent death and disability,
this book serves as a guide for government officials,
nongovernmental relief agencies, healthcare professionals, and
public health personnel on how to effectively center cultural
competence in emergency response to infectious disease outbreaks.
