Health workers at an Ebola treatment centre in eastern Congo went on strike Saturday over payment issues, disrupting care for patients in the epicentre of the country’s rapidly growing outbreak.
The number of confirmed cases of Ebola in Congo has reached 2,973, including 1,309 deaths, according to government data released Friday in what authorities say is the fastest-growing outbreak on record.
Activities at the Elikya Ebola Treatment Centre in Bunia, Ituri province, were largely paralyzed after doctors, nurses and security staff stopped work.
