Government leadership, community ownership, and steadfast support from @WHO and international and local partners are the pillars of the response to the latest #Ebola outbreak in #DRC.

I stood side by side with DRC Minister of Health @rogerkamba and Minister of Communications @PatrickMuyaya at a press conference in Bunia, the capital of Ituri Province, where most cases of Ebola caused by the Bundibugyo virus have been reported.

DRC has extensive experience in containing and ending Ebola outbreaks and can turn the tide on the current emergency with sustained action and support.

Viruses do not respect borders.

I thank Prime Minister @sanchezcastejon not only for meeting #Spain’s legal duty under international law, but also for exercising his moral duty to show solidarity with, and compassion and kindness for, the passengers on MV Hondius cruise ship.

Our work is not over. @WHO will continue to work closely with experts in all affected countries. Our strongest immunity is solidarity.
