DR Congo: Ebola is killing people before they ever reach a doctor

PRESSIVIO NEWS BRIEF · WORLD

Pressivio’s World desk has added the source report “DR Congo: Ebola is killing people before they ever reach a doctor” to its international monitoring stream.

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.
