Recommendation

The 2014 Ebola epidemic highlighted just how ill-equipped the global health system is to tackle a large-scale crisis. Trevor Mundel, the head of the Gates Foundation’s Global Health Program, makes a case for capturing big data in health care to enable coordinated global responses to outbreaks. Though he moves rapidly through this broad subject matter, Mundel supports his arguments with engaging graphics and anecdotal examples. getAbstract recommends his hopeful report to health care administrators and to anyone interested in the future of global health and diagnostics.

Take-Aways

  • The global response to the 2014 Ebola epidemic revealed that the global health system is unprepared to tackle a large-scale health crisis.
  • The world needs to address health crises proactively, in an organized fashion.
  • This is a challenge when health care data are sparse. This problem is particularly acute in developing countries.
