GENEVA, Switzerland (AFP) — The World Health Organization (WHO) and the African Union’s public health agency launched a US$518-million joint plan on Friday to tackle the Ebola outbreak causing alarm in the Democratic Republic of Congo and its neighbours.
The World Health Organization and the Africa Centres for Disease Control and Prevention said the plan would last from June to November.
The outbreak was declared on May 15 in northeastern DRC, but the rare Bundibugyo strain of the Ebola virus is believed to have been spreading under the radar for some time beforehand.
