The World Health Organization has declared that the epidemic is a global emergency.
It’s a global health problem – not an epidemic.
But the World Health Organization warns that the Ebola epidemic in the Democratic Republic of the Congo and the neighboring country of Uganda may be much bigger than what has been known so far.
The World Health Organization advises countries to initiate national disaster management measures and to introduce central and border surveillance.
