Doctors Without Borders will end its involvement in the international
response to an outbreak of the Ebola virus in the heart of Africa later
this month, a sign that public health officials believe the outbreak
has been largely contained.
Doctors Without Borders, also called Medecins Sans Frontieres (MSF), had been tasked with operating treatment facilities in four towns in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) where patients tested positive for the Ebola virus. The group cared for 38 patients, 24 of whom survived.
MSF began winding down its involvement in the Congolese outbreak late last month, handing over operation of Ebola wards in the towns of Itipo and Bikoro to Congo’s Ministry of Health. The group will finish building an Ebola ward at the largest hospital in Mbandaka, a city of more than a million residents that sits right on the Congo River. It will also dismantle an Ebola treatment center it had established on the outskirts of town.
