Every outbreak begins in a community. Long before a diagnosis is confirmed, before health teams are deployed, and before the world starts paying attention, communities are often the first to notice when something is wrong. That's why strong community systems matter. In this video, Dr Githinji Gitahi explains why Community Health Workers, trusted local leaders, and community surveillance systems are essential to detecting outbreaks early and protecting lives. Because the first line of defence against Ebola is often found where the outbreak begins, in the community itself. #Ebola #Amref4HealthSecurity #HealthSecurity
