> If we wish to avoid a scenario similar to the present west African Ebola outbreak, there has to be a radical shift in how we approach global health policy. The old, failed hierarchies must be abolished and new voices must enter the discussion. There is no longer any excuse that can justify the omission of our profession. Therefore, to move towards enduring change, members from nursing, the largest single professional health-care cadre on the planet, have to be included from the very beginning in all policy design and reforms.
