DR Congo Ebola Medics Strike Over Unpaid Salaries As Outbreak Worsens | Firstpost Africa | N18G

DR Congo's battle against Ebola is facing a dangerous new obstacle. Frontline doctors, nurses, epidemiologists and even grave diggers have gone on strike after months without pay, disrupting one of the world's biggest Ebola response efforts. The outbreak has already infected thousands, killed hundreds, and spread a rare Ebola strain with no approved vaccine or specific treatment. The World Health Organization warns the real number of infections could be several times higher than official figures, while funding shortages continue to hamper the response. Alyson Le Grange explains why unpaid healthcare workers could become the biggest threat to DR Congo's Ebola fight, and what it means for Africa's latest public health emergency.
