Great interview from @helenbranswell.bsky.social w/ WHO Director
When other health issues & armed conflict cause >> deaths than Ebola + mistrust/misinformation = difficulty to get best practices to contain spread
But also the perspective that other countries only care now d/t threat to them
Alex Sundermann, DrPH
How do you persuade people they need to take #Ebola seriously when more in their midst are dying from other diseases & armed conflict? That is the challenge #WHO DG Tedros confronted when he visited the outbreak zone in DRC this week. “Ebola is a lesser evil." www.statnews.com/2026/06/13/w...
The director-general of the World Health Organization is profoundly worried about the Ebola outbreak in the DRC, he told STAT in an interview.
