Abstract

We propose to organise a two days symposium titled: "Cultural, legal and ethical challenges in managing data in epidemics, emergencies and disasters" as part of the 4th African Conference on Emerging Infectious Diseases and Biosecurity, under the theme "Managing the spectrum of data generated during disease outbreaks and Biosecurity threats" to be held in Freetown, Sierra Leone from September 26-28, 2018. The discussants will be drawn from a wide range of stakeholders, including researchers, Ebola virus disease survivors, decision/policy makers, funders and legal experts at the local, national and international levels. The report from the symposium will be drafted into a manuscript and submitted to an open access journal.
