Doctors Without Borders - MSF APAC 12d ago

One month since the start of the Ebola outbreak in the Democratic Republic of Congo, MSF teams are responding in Mongbwalu, a mining town in Ituri province at the epicentre of the outbreak. Kate White, MSF Emergency Medical Coordinator, describes an overwhelming situation: patients arriving in the late stages of the disease, healthcare workers grieving the loss of loved ones and colleagues, and families repeatedly affected as transmission continues at household level. Many people are still not reaching care early enough. To save more lives, the response must be scaled up urgently — with more testing capacity, decentralised treatment, early access to care, and stronger trust with affected communities. “It’s not the end. There is still hope,” says Kate. “We need to break that cycle.” #Ebola #DRC #diseaseoutbreak Follow us: Facebook: https://facebook.com/doctorswithoutborders.apac Instagram: https://instagram.com/doctorswithoutborders.apac/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/MSF_APAC LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/doctorswithoutborders-apac Website: https://doctorswithoutborders-apac.org/
