Past Pandemics

This project draws out key themes to directly advise us in our current pandemic, offering prompts to policy-makers and services. It draws from the grey and academic literature on learning from past epidemics (particularly from Ebola, SARS, MERS, cholera); from newly published guidance and reports, and informed by emerging concerns, with themes subsequently tested with child and humanitarian experts.
