GENEVA—The emergencies chief for the World Health Organization predicted on Tuesday, Nov. 13, that Congo’s Ebola outbreak will last at least another six months, saying that informal health facilities have become “major drivers” of the current, deadly transmission.
Dr. Peter Salama said that makeshift “tradi-modern” health centers—offering both traditional and modern treatment—were believed to be linked to more than half of cases in Beni, the largest city affected by the current outbreak that has taken more than 200 lives.
