WHO aims to control Ebola in DRC within three months
The World Health Organization (WHO) announced that it hopes to halt the accelerated spread of Ebola in the Democratic Republic of the Congo within three months, as the outbreak continues to spread in North Kivu Province, which currently reports 4,499 cases and 2,061 deaths. Officials explained that implementing a comprehensive response in the five main transit zones could alter the course of the epidemic during this period, even though controlling transmission does not mean the outbreak is completely over. The efforts to combat the virus face significant challenges due to violence, weak infrastructure, and difficulties in tracing contacts. The organization is working to increase contact tracing to 95% and to triple the treatment capacity within 12 weeks.
