Two months ago, when
clinician Tim Flanigan arrived in Monrovia to help Liberia combat its Ebola epidemic, it took ambulances a few days to respond to calls, dying people were
turned away from designated treatment units,
health care workers ran short of personal protective equipment, and dead bodies were left in the street.
That is why he and his partners in their pediatrics group regularly
turn to the McLean Hospital mental
health clinicians who serve as consultants through the Massachusetts Child Psychiatry Access Program (MCPAP).
