These issues are elucidated under the conceptual rubric: Public health disasters (PHDs). The book defines PHDs as public health issues with devastating social consequences the attendant public health impacts of natural or man-made disasters and latent or low prevalence public health issues with the potential to rapidly acquire pandemic capacities. This notion is illustrated using Ebola and pandemic influenza outbreaks atypical drug-resistant tuberculosis and the health emergencies of earthquakes as focal points. Drawing on an approach that reckons with microbial existential and anthropological realities the book develops a relational-based global ethical framework that can help address the local anthropological ecological and transnational dynamics of the ethical issues engendered by public health disasters.
