NewzThe World Health Organization announced on Wednesday its objective to reverse the spread of the Ebola outbreak in the Democratic Republic of Congo within a three-month timeframe. Officials cautioned, however, that while they aim to curb the transmission of the virus during this period, the epidemic will not be fully resolved by the end of the three months.
The outbreak originated in the northeastern province of Ituri, a region noted for ongoing conflict. In preparation for the response, volunteer health workers have been undergoing emergency training in Kenya to facilitate potential deployment to the affected areas.
