Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus joined Health Minister Samuel Roger Kamba in Kinshasa as authorities battle a fast-growing outbreak that has recorded more than 1,000 suspected cases. "The name of the game is together and solidarity is our best immunity," Ghebreyesus told journalists during a news briefing in Bunia. The visit follows calls from global health agencies for increased funding and resources, with aid groups warning the outbreak is spreading at an unprecedented pace. Congolese authorities, facing the country’s 17th Ebola outbreak, are seeking to leverage their experience while urging international partners not to impose travel restrictions and instead back the response on the ground.
