The World Health Organization (WHO) declared the ninth outbreak of Ebola in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) over on July 24, according to an article on WHO website.
Unlike previous DRC Ebola outbreaks, this one involved four locations, including an urban center with river connections to the capital and to neighboring countries, as well as remote rainforest villages.
There were initial concerns that the disease could spread to other parts of DRC and to neighboring countries.
“This effective response to Ebola should make the government and partners confident that other major outbreaks affecting the country such as cholera and polio can also be tackled,” said WHO Director-General, Dr Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus. “We must continue to work together, investing in strengthened preparedness and access to healthcare for the most vulnerable.”
