Dr. Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus spoke after vaccinations began this week, with support from a UN peacekeeping mission, in Congo's restive northeast where multiple rebel groups pose a threat and a heavily travelled border with Uganda is nearby. Tedros and Congo's health minister on Saturday planned to visit the village where the latest outbreak, Congo's 10th, was declared on Aug. 1. The ministry says 44 cases have been reported, 17 of them confirmed as Ebola, including 10 deaths...." Nobody Determines MY Worth but ME |

After more than 80 days of struggle against the epidemic affecting the Equateur Province in the north-west of the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC), the Government announced the end of the epidemic. Thanks to the mobilisation of all parties, we were able to bring together the communities and lead them to adopt preventive behaviours that allowed us to stop the propagation of the epidemic.

| Rose8 (OP) User ID: 13251065 United States08/13/2018 02:11 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I am with you OP. With all the conditions listed above this could be a real threat. The interesting part of this is that the virus tested Ebola Zaire, rather than the Sudan Ebola virus, or other types that appear in that location. Makes you wonder if someone travelled outside of the previous outbreak and has carried it into its current location. Incubation period is long so it is possible. The cynic in me thinks something else going going onm . Sure gives them ample opportunity to test the new vaccines Quoting: Aya house ca I think of how with conflict, fewer people will seek medical attention to avoid being shot, for instance. Or of a raid where a sick house is contacted unawares. I think there are several scenarios that could go all wrong. I think the next month will reveal much. Nobody Determines MY Worth but ME |

"I fled here from Kokola, where the ADF were committing atrocities," said Pascaline Fitina, a 36-year-old woman, sitting alone, her head in her hands. "I went to my elder sister, but she has died of Ebola and her husband is being quarantined at the treatment centre. I don't what to do." Pascal Lukula, a 38-year-old farmer with 5 children, said he was stuck in Mangina, unable to get to other members of his family because of the encroaching militia.
