## Caption

In the tiny village of #Gukpale, deep in the equatorial forests of Bas-Uele province in the north-east of the #DemocraticRepublicofCongo, a #doctor from the Ministry of Health talks to a young man who has fallen ill.
The 20-year old, suspected of having #Ebola, agreed to a #bloodtest, which proved negative. 
Villages such as these are only accessible on foot or by bicycle or motorbike and transferring suspect cases safely to Ebola Treatment Centres is not possible. 
Outreach teams from the Ministry of Health and with partner support, visit those who are ill, take blood samples and provide advice and medical supplies to treat the sick at home.
