Congo’s Ebola fight shows progress. The worst may not be over
Public health needs attention after the first wave of headlines has passed.
The story
The existing Reuters selection reports declining infections in some health zones while warning that North Kivu remains vulnerable.
Southwood perspective
The decline in daily Ebola infections offers real grounds for hope, but it is not the same as the end of an outbreak. Several health zones have gone weeks without a new case, while North Kivu remains fragile and difficult to reach. Southwood is watching the story because public health victories are often decided after attention moves elsewhere, when surveillance, trust and medical capacity still need sustained support.
