A day of tense reflection as the @World Health Association, @UNICEF, @USAID, the @Centers for @Disease Control and other partners gathered at #WHO offices in Butembo, #DRCongo . Director General Dr. Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus vowed that the global coalition of partners were committed to containing and ending the latest #Ebola outbreak in DRCongo, which has claimed almost 600 lives since it began in August 2018. But all of the participants in today's briefing, including #DRC Minister of Health Dr. Oly Ilunga Kalenga, acknowledge the ongoing fear and mistrust that is fueling violent attacks against treatment centers, including one today that killed a policeman and wounded a health worker. #globalhealth #emergencyresponse #Congo #healthworkers #humanitarianresponse
