Dr. Jackson Amone has garnered quite the reputation for tackling the Ebola virus in Uganda and West Africa at large.
According to him, one of the most important things where this virus is concerned is speed, "Spotting cases quickly, confirming them as Ebola and sending out teams," as BBC puts it.
More than 425 people contracted the virus, mainly in the northern town of Gulu. More than half of them died.
