October 2014 and a devastating epidemic of the viral disease Ebola is raging in Sierra Leone, Liberia, and Guinea. The non-governmental aid organisation Doctors without Borders/ Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF) is one of the major actors in the fight against the disease. MSF needs more and more nurses and doctors to work in their expanding Ebola Management Centres. The authors responded to MSFs call for volunteers, and left behind their regular jobs for two months to work in an Ebola Management Centre in the remote province of Kailahun in Sierra Leone. In this book, they describe their experiences in the Ebola crisis up close and personal.
