The World Health Organisation (WHO) Director-General, Dr Tedros Ghebreyesus, is in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) to demonstrate support for the country as it responds to the ongoing deadly Ebola outbreak. The visit comes as the WHO, in partnership with the DRC’s national medical research organisation, scales up Ebola diagnostic capacity nationwide to help contain the outbreak more effectively.

Dr Tedros says the initiative aims to strengthen laboratory networks to provide real-time data, quickly identify confirmed cases, and ultimately save lives.
