HealthEbola in DRC: Deadliest outbreak on record ‘outpacing the response’

WHO spokesperson Tarik Jašarević warns that authorities still do not know all the locations where Ebola is circulating. Infected people remain outside treatment centres, transmission chains are going undetected and late care sharply reduces survival prospects. Conflict, mobility and humanitarian pressures complicate surveillance, while community trust is vital for testing, contact tracing, safe burials and early treatment.
