Epidemia de Ebola din Congo depășește 3.000 de cazuri. Peste 1.350 de oameni au murit

The Democratic Republic of Congo has reported over 3,000 confirmed Ebola cases and 1,354 deaths since the outbreak began in May. The epidemic, caused by the Bundibugyo strain, affects five provinces, primarily in the northeast. Improved detection methods have led to a rise in confirmed cases. The World Health Organization estimates that nearly 90% of cases are in Ituri province. Efforts to combat the outbreak are hindered by healthcare worker strikes over unpaid salaries. Researchers are working on medical solutions, with Oxford University starting trials for an experimental vaccine.
