WHO gets kudos for fast Ebola action in DRC, but prevention lagging
The World Health Organization has received widespread praise for its quick response to an Ebola outbreak in the Democratic Republic of Congo, although observers warn prevention and information to affected communities remain insufficient.
So far, 52 confirmed, likely or suspected cases of the deadly virus have been registered in DRC, including 22 deaths.
The UN health agency has been scrambling in this outbreak to prove it has learned its lesson after bungling the initial response to the 2013-2015 Ebola epidemic in West Africa.
