ONU: casos de Ébola disminuyen pero la violencia amenaza la respuesta en RDC

El 13 de noviembre, funcionarios de salud de la ONU declararon que, aunque los casos de Ébola han disminuido en varias provincias de la República Democrática del Congo, la violencia continua y la escasez de financiación ponen en peligro la contención del brote. El Ministerio de Salud informó el 11 de noviembre que la epidemia había alcanzado 11 042 infecciones y 5 387 muertes en ocho provincias, en medio de conflictos y un sistema sanitario sobrecargado.

La Organización Mundial de la Salud advirtió que la transmisión seguía siendo alta y que los ataques a instalaciones sanitarias empeoraban la respuesta. Médicos Sin Fronteras también señaló que muchos contagios probablemente no se detectaron y que la transmisión hospitalaria continuaba.

Resumen

The claim that Ebola cases had decreased in several provinces of the Democratic Republic of Congo as of 13 November has insufficient evidence. The report from the ministry of health on 11 November stating the epidemic reached 11,042 infections and 5,387 deaths across eight provinces is partially confirmed. The World Health Organization's warning that transmission remained high is partially confirmed. The World Health Organization's warning regarding worsening conditions due to attacks on health facilities is partially confirmed. Médecins Sans Frontières' warning that many infections were likely undetected is partially confirmed.
