WHO Chief Urges Safe Burials in Visit to Heart of Ebola Outbreak
- The World Health Organisation Chief visited the Congolese province hardest hit by Ebola to urge residents to seek treatment and practice safe burials as officials work to contain the disease.
- After meeting Prime Minister Judith Suminwa Tuluka, Tedros traveled to Bunia, the capital of Ituri province, where Ebola cases were identified earlier this month.
- Tedros explained that the Bundibugyo Ebola strain has no approved vaccines or treatments, making early palliative care like isolation, rehydration, and pain management essential.
- He warned that safe burials are essential since Ebola victims' bodies are highly contagious to prevent further loss.
