Author: THET Podcast September 16, 2019 Duration: 14:30

In 2013, the King’s Sierra Leone Partnership was established to help build the capacity of the health institutions in Sierra Leone. However, with the sudden outbreak of ebola spreading fast across the nation, Dr Oliver Johnson and his team came together to help the country manage this crisis. In this podcast, Johnson discusses his experiences and his lessons learned whilst working with the Ministry of Health and Sanitation to curtail the outbreak.


Behind the broad mission of global health equity, there are countless human stories of collaboration, challenge, and innovation. THET: Tropical Health & Education Trusts brings those stories to the foreground. This podcast, presented by the THET Podcast team, moves beyond policy statements to explore the practical, on-the-ground work of building sustainable healthcare systems in resource-limited settings. Each episode features conversations with the people directly involved-practitioners, educators, local partners, and supporters-who share their experiences, setbacks, and hard-won successes. You’ll hear how knowledge is shared across borders, how communities shape their own health outcomes, and what it truly takes to move toward healthcare for all. Rather than offering abstract discussions, this series grounds its narrative in the voices of those driving change, making the complex landscape of international health development feel personal and tangible. For anyone curious about the real-world application of global solidarity in medicine and education, this podcast provides an essential, nuanced perspective. It’s a direct line to the thinkers and doers within a vital network, recorded to inform and inspire continued engagement with some of the most pressing health challenges of our time.
