A quarter of an hour later, the car pulled up in front of the health ministry’s three-story building of yellowing concrete.
- Role: setting
- In the book: Rosling is taken here on his second morning; the ministry’s guards enforce chlorinated-water hygiene at the door. Within twenty minutes Luke Bawo gives him a desk in his own room as deputy head of ebola surveillance. He works here for months, fixing the daily case report and its flawed database.
- Why it matters: The core of the ebola chapter: the physical seat of Liberia’s surveillance and where Rosling’s data fixes happen. Elsewhere it would be a different story.
