The Hot ZoneThe Terrifying True Story of the Origins of the Ebola Virus
This September, we’re reading the gripping medical nonfiction thriller, The Hot Zone by Richard Preston.
This story hits incredibly close to home for our community. Medical Teams has been on the ground in East Africa for over 20 years. Right now, our courageous teams are actively on the border fighting the Ebola outbreak at the front lines in Uganda: conducting vital screenings, distributing personal protection equipment, and protecting vulnerable communities.
Reading The Hot Zone gives us a deeper look into the history, science, and high stakes of the disease outbreaks our teams confront every day.
