As the world battles the Ebola virus, thousands of health workers fight on the frontlines – and among them, Filipinos. One such Filipino worker is Dr Natasha Reyes, who worked as a medical coordinator for Doctors Without Borders (Medecins Sans Frontieres, MSF) in Liberia. The Filipina doctor has been with the non-governmental organization since 2007 and has worked in several African outbreaks in the past, including cholera in Sierra Leone, and measles and hepatitis E in South Sudan. Reyes knew how dangerous Ebola is, but she went to Liberia anyway, because people needed help, the country’s health system needed as many professionals as possible, and a lot of work needs to be done.
