Six months of contained outbreak: DRC steps up Ebola as thousands recover -. World Health Organization.
Significant progress has been made in the fight against the Ebola outbreak in DRC, with nearly 2,000 treatment beds available and about 3,000 people already recovered, the World Health Organization said.
More than 17,000 community health workers have also been trained, while diagnostic capacity has expanded to more than two dozen laboratories, the organization noted.
However, the response is facing severe difficulties: 400 to 500 new cases are reported every week; Ongoing conflict and attacks on health services are disrupting life-saving operations and contact tracing, according to the World Health Organization.
To protect this fragile progress and scale up the response, rapid and flexible international funding is urgently needed until 2027.
