[OMS RDC @OMSRDCONGO]

Rencontrez Mamadou Zongo, logisticien de l’OMS & expert en #WASH. À #Bulape🇨🇩, pendant la riposte à #Ebola, il n’a pas hésité d'aller en brousse pour relever un défi vital : trouver une source d’eau potable. Et alimenter l'hôpital & la communauté. Une résilience face aux crises.

Conflict, protracted humanitarian crises, and environmental disasters increase the risk of violence against women and girls living in fragile contexts.

Open the door. Take a stand. End violence.

RT @WHOAFRO: To contribute to #Ethiopia’s 🇪🇹 #Marburg outbreak response, @WHO's Emergency and Preparedness Hub in #Nairobi today delivered…

[Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus @DrTedros]

.@WHO is working closely with #Ethiopia’s @FMoHealth, the Ethiopia Public Health Institute and regional health authorities as part of the rapid response to a suspected outbreak of a viral haemorrhagic fever (VHF) in the Southern Ethiopian Region.

8 people, including health workers, have reportedly been infected.

WHO has deployed experts to the affected towns, along with medicines and other materials to support care for people in need, and personal protective equipment for health workers.

WHO will also be supporting contact tracing in affected communities. Samples have been sent for testing. Further details are expected soon.

I have released US$300,000 from the WHO Contingency Fund for Emergencies to provide immediate support.

WHO’s offices in Ethiopia and South Sudan are collaborating closely to prevent potential cross-border transmission. WHO is ready to scale up support, as and when needed.

I commend Ethiopian health authorities for their timely sharing of information and quick response and offer WHO’s full support.

Twenty days have passed without an Ebola case in #DRC as of 15 October. Eighteen patients have recovered and reunited with their families, while one is still receiving care.

Once the remaining patient is discharged and no new case is reported, the country will begin the 42-day countdown to declare the outbreak over. @WHO and partners are on the ground supporting case management, surveillance, community engagement and other key response efforts.

[WHO African Region @WHOAFRO]

Behind every life saved is a coordinated logistics effort.

Over the past weeks, @WHO and partners have ramped up operations to deliver critical supplies in support of the #DRC government’s response to the #Ebola outbreak in #Kasai province.

[Prof. Mohamed Janabi @ProfJanabi]

We achieve more when we work together.

Had a good meeting with partners in DRC on aligning efforts for the ongoing #Ebola response, to scale up surveillance, contact tracing and infection prevention and control.

Our goal is clear - break transmission, protect health workers and communities, and bring this outbreak to a rapid close.
