Liberia - we will not give up | Miatta Gbanya | TEDxEuston
Miatta Gbanya’s talk on overcoming adversity through hardwork and her personal stories of helping to fight ebola in Liberia was one that held the TEDXEuston audience captive the entire time she spoke. Miatta is a perfect example of TEDxEuston's speakers: hard-working, resilient and passionate about helping, she returned to Liberia mid-2013 after nearly ten years of relief work in places like Darfur, South Sudan, and the Democratic Republic of the Congo. Miatta told the audience, Our countries need us. Our countries need the best we can give." She is doing exactly that. And you?
Miatta Gbanya was the Deputy Incident Manager in Liberia’s Command and Control Structure during its response to the Ebola outbreak of 2014 – 15 in Liberia. She is a trained nurse with a Master’s degree in Public Health from BRAC University in Dhaka, Bangladesh. She has also completed, amongst others, courses in International Health and Community Development at Johns Hopkins School of Public Health. She has previously worked in the Democratic Republic of Congo, The Sudan (Darfur) and South Sudan with Merlin and Malaria Consortium, managing various large-scale health projects. She returned to Liberia to manage the first Liberian Health Sector Pool Fund at the Liberian Ministry of Health and Social Welfare.
This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at http://ted.com/tedx
