Dr. Josh Michaud is the Associate Director for Global Health Policy at the Kaiser Family Foundation.  He is an authority on the role of the Department of Defense in global health, innovative financing, and global health diplomacy, and is a Professorial Lecturer at Johns Hopkins University School of Advanced International Studies (SAIS).

In an interview with The Cipher Brief, Dr. Josh Michaud, an expert on global health policy for the Kaiser Family Foundation, discussed the lessons learned from how the Ebola outbreak has been managed – and mismanaged.  He said there is an “effective prevention tool” for combatting future pandemics.

The Cipher Brief: How would you assess the U.S. response to the Ebola outbreak last year? Was the U.S. prepared to deal with such an outbreak in Africa and mitigate the threat to the homeland? 

“The Cipher Brief has become the most popular outlet for former intelligence officers; no media outlet is even a close second to The Cipher Brief in terms of the number of articles published by formers.” —Sept. 2018, Studies in Intelligence, Vol. 62
