WHO warns staff and funds shortages hinder Ebola response
The World Health Organization has confirmed that efforts to combat the Ebola virus are being hampered by a shortage of qualified personnel and funding. The disease is now spreading across six regions outside the epicenter of Bunia in the Democratic Republic of the Congo. The organization indicated that approximately 1,400 beds have been provided in 59 health facilities, with a need for an additional 1,600 beds. It also highlighted the training of around 9,000 health workers, as well as securing necessary protective equipment and medical supplies. The WHO emphasized that fully operating treatment centers and deploying qualified staff are essential to contain the outbreak and save lives effectively.
