Ebola in DRC: WHO Calls for Sustainable Improvement of Medical Oxygen Access

The WHO in DRC emphasizes that access to medical oxygen, crucial for treating severe Ebola cases, remains limited in many areas due to infrastructure and equipment constraints. As of September 27, over 8,100 confirmed cases and nearly 3,900 deaths have been recorded, but the situation is improving with a decline in new cases. Treatment center capacity has increased from a few beds to over 1,600, and hundreds of health professionals have been trained. The WHO calls for sustained efforts to improve oxygen access to save lives.
