The Current Ebola Outbreak Is a Global Threat. A Doctor Explains

Ebola cases in eastern Democratic Republic of Congo have surged past 1,000 suspected infections and at least 246 deaths.

Uganda has confirmed nine cases and one death, showing the outbreak has already crossed borders.

MSF says the response is lagging, while health officials warn the disease could spread further into neighboring countries.

The affected area is conflict-prone and has weak health systems, and there is no vaccine for the circulating Bundibugyo strain.
