Alimany the midfielder died last night. A young man in the prime of his life robbed of his future… I take a walk over to a secluded corner… Here I stand and stare into space. My thoughts and emotions swirl and, as often occurs here, I find myself with a deep sense of sorrow.
I have to collect myself quickly as this place is about the living and I have blood samples to collect.
This book tells of the personal experiences of Andy Dennis and Anna Simon in Sierra Leone working for Doctors Without Borders / Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF) during the Ebola outbreak in 2014. It is based on the personal journals that they kept; and their combined different background and personalities gives a diverse insight into events as they unfolded.
In the four to five weeks that they worked in Kailahun, a remote province of Sierra Leone, they cared for more than 150 Ebola patients, assisting them in their recovery or ensuring a dignified death. They lived and worked in Kailahun but are not experts on West Africa in general or Sierra Leone nor do they intend to give a full overview of the development of the outbreak, the response of the Western world or the efforts of the various other aid organisations.
Twenty-five patients that they cared for in their work are highlighted to give the story a personal touch. After all, they are the human faces engulfed by this crisis. The names of the people involved were changed, for privacy reasons, but their stories are true.
Traducción - español INTRODUCCIÓN
Andy Dennis:
Anoche murió Alimany, el centrocampista. Un hombre joven en la flor de la vida, le robaron el futuro… Camino hasta una esquina apartada… me paro y miro al vacío. Mis pensamientos y emociones se arremolinan y, como me viene sucediendo a menudo desde que estoy aquí, me sumo en un profundo estado de tristeza.
Debo recomponerme rápidamente, al fin y al cabo, este lugar va de apostar por la vida y tengo muestras de sangre que recoger.
Este libro cuenta las experiencias personales de Andy Dennis y Anna Simon trabajando con Médicos Sin Fronteras (MSF) en Sierra Leona durante el brote de Ébola de 2014. Está basado en sus diarios personales; la combinación de sus diferentes antecedentes profesionales y personales nos aporta una visión diversa de los eventos que se desarrollaron.
Durante las cuatro o cinco semanas que trabajaron en Kailahun, una provincia remota de Sierra Leona, atendieron a más de 150 pacientes de Ébola, asistiendo a su recuperación o asegurando que tuvieran una muerte digna. Ambos vivieron y trabajaron en Kailahun, pero no son expertos en África occidental en general ni en Sierra Leona en particular; tampoco intentan describir una visión global de la evolución del brote, la respuesta del mundo occidental o los esfuerzos de otras organizaciones de ayuda.
Para proporcionar un toque más personal a su narrativa, han seleccionado las historias de veinticinco pacientes de entre todos aquellos a los que cuidaron. Al fin y al cabo, estos representan los rostros humanos arrasados por la crisis. Los nombres se han cambiado para respetar su privacidad, pero las historias son reales.
