DR Congo: Ebola is killing people before they ever reach a doctor
✦AI Summary
An Ebola outbreak in the Democratic Republic of the Congo is causing high mortality rates because patients are unable to reach treatment centers in time. WHO officials are working to address logistical gaps and transport issues that prevent timely medical intervention.
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.
