Milan, 30 May (LaPresse) – ‘The response is not keeping pace with the spread of the Ebola epidemic’ in the Democratic Republic of the Congo. This was stated by Dr Alan Gonzalez, deputy director of operations for Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF), during a visit to Bunia, in Ituri province, by the Director-General of the World Health Organisation (WHO), Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus. "Two weeks after the Ebola outbreak was declared in Ituri province, the situation is deeply alarming and represents a legitimate cause for concern for both communities and frontline health workers. Never before has an Ebola outbreak recorded so many cases so soon after it was declared,” said Gonzalez, adding that “like everyone living in the affected areas, MSF teams are witnessing a response that has not yet managed to keep pace with the rapid spread of the outbreak.”
