It’s been a year since the latest #Ebola outbreak in #DRC was announced and a month since it was declared a Public Health Emergency of International Concern. @DrTedros briefed today #RC69AFRO on the current situation of the response.

@DrTedros @WHOAFRO @OMSRDCONGO "The government of #DRC has done an outstanding job so far. Its leadership must be respected and supported, not undermined"-@DrTedros at #RC69AFRO

@DrTedros @WHOAFRO @OMSRDCONGO @MinSanteRDC "#Ebola is more than just an outbreak; it’s a complex humanitarian emergency. Ending it cannot be a job solely for @MinSanteRDC or @WHO. We need everyone to do their job, and to be accountable for what they have signed up to do"-@DrTedros #RC69AFRO

@DrTedros @WHOAFRO @OMSRDCONGO @MinSanteRDC ”Even if #Ebola is finished, we should not leave and we cannot leave. We should help #DRC to build its health system. We are here to stay”-@DrTedros at #RC69AFRO

@DrTedros @WHOAFRO @OMSRDCONGO @MinSanteRDC "Investing in preparedness saves lives, and it saves money"-@DrTedros at #RC69AFRO
