WHO chief: 'WHO has provided clinical care and close monitoring to a second U.S. citizen —a humanitarian worker— in eastern #DRC’s Ituri provincial capital of Bunia who has been confirmed with Ebola Bundibugyo virus disease. The patient has been safely transferred to Germany for continued follow-up care. As the outbreak escalates, an accelerated response from local, national, and international partners is urgently needed. WHO is working intensively under the government’s leadership and with@AfricaCDCto bring the outbreak under control as rapidly as possible. As infections among response personnel are not unexpected in an outbreak of this scale, protecting frontline responders must remain a top priority. We are deeply grateful for the courage and commitment of all health workers working to end this outbreak. WHO wishes all patients being treated for Ebola to recover swiftly and will continue supporting communities and responders across the Democratic Republic of the Congo.
