Will the latest Ebola outbreak in DR Congo and Uganda spread further? | Inside Story
A global health crisis - not a pandemic.
But the World Health Organization is warning the Ebola outbreak in Democratic Republic of the Congo and neighbouring Uganda could be much larger than what has been detected so far.
The global health body is advising the countries to activate national disaster mechanisms and introduce cross-border and internal screening.
Presenter: James Bays
Guests:
Ariel Kestens, Head of the Kinshasa Delegation, International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies.
Dr Margaret Harris, Lecturer at United Nations Institute for Training and Research
