This is the second course I have studied on EVD and it was 100% better than the first which I did through United Nations, I cant thank you enough for such a good course
Very informative course not only about Ebola Epidemic but indeed a general aspect towards infectious diseases. I'm glad I toke it. I highly recommend it to the pupil who're interested in these types of case studies on diseases which awoke the health systems all over the globe. Course is also good enough for students who lack a strong biology background as this course is mainly public health based, also it considers other aspects than health which lead to such outbreaks such as socio-economic status of the places, trust of locals towards authorities & various such aspects.
Hope the course leads all to a success & healthy road.
This course helps the learner understand the challenges faced in dealing with an infectious disease such as Ebola . The instructors guide the learner through the phases of identification, education, testing and reduction/eradication of a highly infectious disease. The student will gain an understanding of the rights of the individual, the public, and the government as it relates to a highly contagious Class A infectious agent. Information gained during this course can be directly visualized in the current COVID19 pandemic as countries fight to get a handle on the outbreak.
i had learn many things from this course which was very clear and easy to understand. i had never learned about ebola in class in detail as I had learned from this course. it was an eye-opening to see the places that were affected by the disease and learn many policy and preventive measures taken up by the government
La información histórica y actual junto a el enfoque de importancia en la salud pública a base de la enfermedad del ébola, es muy rigoroso y importante conocer parte de la epidemiología, estos conocimientos ayudan a los estudiantes del área de ciencias de la salud
Thank you!
I've studied this mooc as preparation for hopefully going into the immunology and drug development field for further studies. This was a very interesting case study for me to research. It has also helped with some of my development for my epq.
Interesting course. The course goes well beyond the diagnosis and treatment of EVD. The course also examines social. economic, and cultural factors that made it especially difficult to manage the Western Africa outbreak of EVD.
a course that enrichment your knowledge from the root of ebola works in human body as well as treatment , excellent coverage of global education through the module. I am happy to finished the course after all.
Better than in-class because of variety and expertise of presenters and great on-site videos and graphics. I really learned a lot about this important issue from this course. Thanks Coursera! :)
