The head of the World Health Organization (WHO) is visiting eastern Congo’s Bunia, a city at the heart of an outbreak of a rare type of Ebola, where the virus is spreading faster than the response despite better-organized health facilities and new aid arrivals.⁣ ⁣ Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus is expected to visit a treatment center and meet local authorities, health workers and affected families in Bunia.⁣ ⁣ The WHO said latest official figures showed 906 suspected cases and 223 suspected deaths. Neighboring Uganda has confirmed nine cases and one death, the Ugandan ministry of health said Friday.⁣ ⁣ The Bundibugyo virus, the current kind of Ebola, has no approved treatment or vaccine.⁣ ⁣ #who #worldhealthorganization #ebola #congo #drc #uganda #virus
