Margret Chan could not be at the Third Global Symposium on Health Systems Research in Cape Town! This is because she is currently working with global leaders to formulate a strategy to address the Ebola Virus. She sent a video message for us!

She emphasized the importance of people centered health systems! She reiterated that the spread of the Ebola virus is evidence of the failure of health systems in fragile states.
She’s asked all health care workers and leaders to continue the fight for people centered health care, to research, and to continue these important conversations that put health systems on the global agenda!
