 Ebola outbreak in DRC on track to eclipse 2014-2016 West Africa epidemic: WHO chief


The Ebola outbreak in the Democratic Republic of Congo is "on track to eclipse" the 2014-2016 West Africa epidemic at its current pace, the head of the World Health Organization (WHO) said, Anadolu Agency reported.


Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus said at a media briefing in Geneva that the outbreak is already the second-biggest Ebola epidemic on record and is spreading faster than any previous outbreak.


Officially, 4,449 confirmed cases and 2,061 deaths have been reported in five provinces and 53 health zones, he said.


About 90% of cases and 80% of deaths are concentrated in Ituri province, with sustained transmission in Bunia, Rwampara, Nizi, and Lita.


Treatment capacity


Tedros said a high proportion of deaths are occurring in communities rather than treatment centres and outside known contact lists, indicating unidentified chains of transmission.


The WHO and its partners are scaling up surveillance and aiming to raise contact tracing from around 80% to 95%, while treatment capacity is expected to triple to 3,000 beds within 12 weeks.


More than 21,000 community health workers have been trained, while 886 patients have recovered despite the lack of specific approved therapeutics and vaccines, according to the WHO chief.


Tedros said two vaccines designed specifically against the Bundibugyo virus have entered phase one human safety trials.
