What is yourunderstanding of "a community with a shared future for mankind"
How is the idea reflected in the MSF doctor's journal
The author mentioned that Ebola has no respect for borders. This indicates that borders are artificial.

Doctors and others involved in the fight against the united by their common values of disease were respecting and saving human life.
