OMS avertizează: Epidemia de Ebola din RD Congo se intensifică într-un ritm excepțional, cerând măsuri urgente • Newsweek România

The Ebola outbreak in the Democratic Republic of Congo is escalating rapidly, prompting urgent calls for enhanced health responses from the WHO. This outbreak, declared on May 15, is the most significant ever recorded in the country, with over 3,600 confirmed cases and a mortality rate of 44%. The virus variant causing the outbreak lacks both a vaccine and treatment, complicating containment efforts. The epidemic has spread across five provinces, with a record number of cases and deaths reported recently. The WHO emphasizes the need for substantial increases in response activities to combat the outbreak effectively.
