In 2014, Salome Karwah was living in Monrovia, Liberia, when Ebola struck. It killed seven members of her family and infected her, her sister and her fiancé. As soon as Karwah recovered, she volunteered with Doctors Without Borders and went to help others. In the final episode of Quarantine Genius, we tell her story. Thanks for listening.
