Ebola: The Untold Stories of Survivors

Ebola: The Untold Stories of Survivors is a premier book that tells the Ebola story from the horses' mouth; conveying in an extraordinary way, the "cockpit view" of the issues that transpired in the lives, bodies, souls, and minds of Ebola 'victims'. The journey of each 'victim' begins right from the day they felt unwell and continues for several months. The book combines the author's synthesis of what it means to contract Ebola, based on years of academic research and recollections of real life stories of survivors from two major Ebola outbreaks in 2000 and 2012 both of which occurred in Uganda, the "Pearl of Africa", in East Africa. This book vividly relays how men and women, young and old journeyed through the complex trail of Ebola infection, right from the day they fell ill, through to events in the hospital and climaxes with how their lives unfolded after they were discharged from the isolation wards. The moment by moment description of survivors' experiences in their own words, complete with the ramifications of their emotions at the time, is set to engage you - right from the beginning of their stories to the very end, providing you unparalleled insight into Ebola epidemics. I am confident this book, the first of a series, will not only boost your understanding of life during and after Ebola, but it will also help you to better appreciate how Ebola outbreaks affect survivors, caregivers, orphans, widowed, families, health workers and affected communities.
