National public health emergency operations centers (PHEOCs) serve as hubs for coordinating information and resources for effective emergency management. In the a simulation exercise is 1 of 4 components that can be used to test the functionality of a country's emergency response capabilities in a simulated situation. To test the functionality of PHEOCs in World Health Organization African Region member states, a regional functional exercise simulating an Ebola virus disease outbreak was conducted.

Article Synopsis
- The dissertation explores how local responses were integrated into emergency management during public health crises in Liberia and Sierra Leone, focusing on community involvement.
- Through 67 interviews with key stakeholders, the research highlights the actions taken by traditional and community leaders, such as rulemaking and health sensitization, which played a significant role in managing the Ebola outbreak.
- The findings suggest that engaging local leaders before international aid can enhance effectiveness and cooperation in public health responses, thus recommending that local community input should be prioritized in future interventions.

Article Synopsis
- Viral infectious diseases of poverty (vIDPs), such as COVID-19, HIV/AIDS, and others, greatly impact global health but lack comprehensive burden data; this study aims to quantify their effects using 2021 Global Burden of Diseases data.
- The analysis covers incidence, mortality, and disability-adjusted life years (DALYs) across 204 countries between 1990 and 2021, revealing that vIDPs led to approximately 8.7 million deaths and 259.2 million DALYs in 2021.
- Notably, COVID-19 accounted for the majority of these deaths (around 7.9 million), while acute hepatitis and HIV/AIDS showed high incidence and prevalence rates, and vID
