WHO says Congo Ebola outbreak can still be brought under control within three months

WHO had said reversing Ebola’s spread would be possible within three months, but there are signs it has worsened.

Hope remains that it will be possible to bring under control an Ebola outbreak in the Democratic Republic of Congo that is outpacing containment efforts, a World Health Organization official has said.

Congo’s latest Ebola outbreak has killed more than 2,300 people, making it the deadliest outbreak of the disease ever recorded in the country.

The World Health Organization has said the current Ebola outbreak is on track to surpass the deadliest on record.

Ebola is reviving suspicions of profiteering in eastern Democratic Republic of Congo, where distrust over how response money is handled is undermining the community cooperation needed to contain the world’s fastest-growing outbreak.

The DRC’s latest Ebola outbreak has killed 2,325 people, making it the country’s deadliest outbreak on record. Nearly 5,000 cases have been confirmed as the virus spreads to a sixth province, while health authorities work to tackle mistrust and contain transmission. Two vaccines have also entered early human trials.

Congo’s fast-moving Ebola outbreak has now killed over 2300 people and become the deadliest outbreak of the disease on record in the Central African nation.
