More than 3000 people have already died due to the Ebola outbreak, according to the Congolese Government. The number of deaths continues to grow and represents one of the most serious scenarios of the disease in history.
This outbreak is already considered the second largest ever worldwide. The scale of the epidemic surpasses most previous episodes of the disease, placing enormous pressure on health authorities.
The lack of vaccines and treatments against the Bundibugyo virus is hindering the capacity to control the epidemic. Without adequate medical tools, health professionals face enormous difficulties in containing the spread of the disease.
The situation in Congo remains critical, with authorities struggling to respond to an outbreak of unprecedented dimensions in the region.
