Doctors in the Democratic Republic of Congo are seeing an increase in the number of Ebola cases in the country, Radio Okapi reported, citing health officials.
According to their data, about 20 new infections per week have been recorded over the past three weeks in the Mambasa region of the Congo. Efforts to contain the outbreak are complicated by a shortage of beds in treatment centers, combined with logistical problems.
The outbreak in Mambasa was caused by improper handling of the bodies of Ebola patients by medical staff.
