Ebola disease outbreak outpaces emergency response in DR Congo
Kate White, emergency medical coordinator in Ituri province, Democratic Republic of Congo, details the gaps she’s seen in the emergency response in the region. Despite recent efforts to scale up this response, there is still difficulty with testing and treating patients early enough to stop the growing death toll. MSF calls on all stakeholders and authorities involved in the response to urgently facilitate the movement of health workers and supplies so the response can match the scale of the outbreak.
