The response to the west African Ebola virus disease epidemic in 2016 illustrated the stark dichotomy of both the failings and the remarkable potential of global public health architecture. A stuttering, uncoordinated early response, which exposed the overwhelmed public health capacity of the region and claimed the lives of thousands, 1 was followed by one of the most successful global partnerships between foreign and local governments and multinational aid organisations to stem an international health crisis. After the region was declared free from an active epidemic in January, 2016, any accolades were intermixed with warnings that the greatest work was left to be done: rebuilding an infrastructure and workforce capable of preventing future epidemics from enacting similar devastation and enabling provision of quality health care in the region. 2 Fortunately, a panoply of global health-care bodies, including the UN, World Bank, and the African Development Bank have expressed their commitments to this goal, 3 but whether it will be met remains an open question.
