| Summary |
When Australian development worker Jo Dunlop first went to Sierra Leone to work on a health project, she was also inspired to write a blog about the vibrant fashion on the streets of Freetown. But everything changed when Ebola arrived."It's been devastating. The disease just moved around like this horrible menacing monster, and there were people just crying out for help," she says.Despite her family's concerns, she stayed to help, and turned her blog to documenting the stories of those affected by Ebola.Tuesday's Dateline has not only her story, but also the stories of those she met fighting to contain the epidemic. They include British nurse Will Pooley, who contracted the virus and survived after treatment in the UK."It really highlights this gap, this massive gap, in global health," she says, as Dateline also examines if Western patients receive preferential treatment.Jo had to be isolated in hospital for tests on her return to Sydney, but she too was ultimately given the all clear and soon decided to return. Now back in Sierra Leone, she says she really wants to be there when the Ebola crisis finally comes to an end |
