Au-delà du virus : comprendre et faire face aux épidémies mondiales
Covid-19, mpox, Ebola, HIV… We think we all know about epidemics: we have lived through them or seen the images. But do we really know how they work?

About this event
An epidemic is never just a virus spreading. It is also societies, healthcare systems, fears, prejudices and emotional relationships that shape its spread as much as the responses to it.
The day after World AIDS Day, as the DRC struggles to contain an unprecedented Ebola outbreak in the country, two roundtables invite you to look at epidemics differently. Doctors, anthropologists, a microbiologist, a virologist, a psychologist, a demographer and activists will bring their perspectives together to understand these epidemics, contain them and better prepare for the next ones, while keeping the needs of affected communities in mind.
These roundtables will be moderated by Caroline Paré, an RFI journalist and host of the program "Priorité santé" since 2017.
Come to learn, ask questions and share ideas.
