WHO head says Ebola outbreak can be stopped as he arrives in DR Congo
Dr Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus travels to the eastern province of Ituri, the epicentre of the current outbreak, on Friday.
The head of the World Health Organization, Dr. Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, has expressed confidence that the current Ebola outbreak in the Democratic Republic of Congo can be contained. Arriving in Kinshasa, he pledged WHO support to affected communities in the eastern provinces, which are the epicenter of the outbreak. Dr. Tedros emphasized the need for international funding and called for a ceasefire in the conflict-ridden region, stating that violence and displacement complicate containment efforts. He also advised against travel bans, arguing they can discourage transparent reporting of cases.
The WHO's commitment and the call for international support are crucial for mobilizing resources and coordinating efforts to control the spread of the deadly virus.
