The tabular dataset contains anonymised quotes that outline the lived experiences of survivors of the Ebola virus disease (EVD). Data was collected from a set of 15 in-depth interview participants. The transcripts from these interviews cover a range of topics, including lived experiences (including psychological distress, psychosocial challenges) of the patients/survivors of the Ebola Virus Disease (EVD), their beliefs (including misperceptions such as witchcraft) and coping mechanisms for managing EVD. This data supports the publication, “A qualitative study of Ebola survivors’ psychological experiences of evacuation, treatment and community reintegration: Lessons in holistic person-centred care from the 2022 outbreak in Uganda”.
