HUThe World Health Organization (WHO) announced that the first patient has been enrolled in clinical trials targeting the Bundibugyo strain of the Ebola virus, which is currently causing an outbreak in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC). The trials will test a new experimental Ebola drug based on modified antibodies, alongside Remdesivir, which has already been approved for treating COVID-19. Despite progress, health workers face challenges including distrust and attacks, such as those against a hospital in the Ituri region where two people were killed. The DRC reported over 1,400 confirmed cases, with 447 deaths, and noted a high mortality rate of 30.6%. While 595 patients are under quarantine or treatment, 213 have recovered, and contact tracing efforts are ongoing.
