The director-general of the World Health Organization is “really worried” about the Ebola outbreak in the Democratic Republic of the Congo and Uganda, already the third largest on record.
In an exclusive interview with STAT, Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus described the conditions he saw after returning from his second visit to the affected area since the outbreak was declared on May 15, and designated a public health emergency of international concern on May 17. Already there have been at least 708 confirmed cases combined in the two countries, 141 of whom have died.
