DR Congo has overcome the eleventh outbreak of the Ebola virus, which had been circulating for half a year in the Central African nation, the World Health Organization (WHO) regional department announced on Wednesday

Ngoy Nsenga, a leading expert at the World Health Organization's (WHO) Ebola response team, told Sputnik that Ebola, being a water-borne disease, would likely re-emerge in different regions across Africa in the future, thus making broader vaccination important to prevent new outbreaks

With new cases of the deadly Ebola disease reported in the northwest of the Democratic Republic of the Congo, and some 1,000 cases in the east, the World Health Organization (WHO) estimates that the risk of it spreading countrywide is high, Ngoy Nsenga, the leader of the WHO Ebola response team, has told Sputnik

Ngoy Nsenga, a leading expert at the World Health Organization's (WHO) Ebola response team, told Sputnik that there was enough medical personnel working in the Democratic Republic of the Congo to fight the new Ebola outbreak, however, operational costs were high given the complicated access to the outbreak's epicenter in the Mbandaka province
