Ethics & Leadership in Viral Outbreak Response

This topic explores the ethical dilemmas, communication challenges, and leadership principles required during viral disease outbreaks and pandemics. It covers issues such as resource allocation (ventilators, vaccines), quarantine measures, stigma, public trust, and transparent science communication. For Zambian tertiary students in public health, health administration, and medicine, this develops the soft skills and ethical framework needed to lead effectively during crises. It is crucial for future health managers and policymakers who will guide Zambia's response to emerging health threats.
