Ebola in DRC: MSF calls for urgent strengthening of support from WHO and UN agencies

Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF) calls for urgent strengthening of operational support from UN agencies, including the WHO, in response to the expanding Ebola epidemic in the Democratic Republic of Congo. The organization emphasizes that its teams cannot respond alone to the outbreak as new transmission hotspots emerge. As of September 16, 22 new recoveries were recorded, bringing the total number of people cured since the outbreak began to 1,798.
