Congo-Kinshasa: Ebola Is Killing People Before They Ever Reach a Doctor
✦AI Summary
The WHO is struggling to contain an Ebola outbreak in the Democratic Republic of the Congo, where a high percentage of patients die before reaching treatment centers. Officials are identifying gaps in patient transport and the concentration of healthcare services as primary obstacles to reducing the death toll.
More than 1,900 people have died in the Democratic Republic of the Congo's Ebola outbreak - and most of them never made it to a treatment centre. Between 60 and 70 per cent of deaths are happening in communities far from care, a gap that is now central to the World Health Organization's response.
