In this week’s Aspen Health for All Live Conversation, Raj Panjabi joins Agnes Binagwaho to share key insights from the 2014-2016 Ebola crisis to strengthen the fight against COVID-19. Raj was featured in TIME Magazine’s Leadership in Times of Crisis series and co-authored a piece with Ellen Johnson Sirleaf, Former President of the Republic of Liberia to share five recommendations to strengthen the global pandemic response. “We are not defined by the conditions we face, no matter how hopeless they seem – we are defined by how we respond to them. Decisive political leadership and global cooperation – along with every single one of us playing our part – will determine if we win the war against this invisible enemy.”
