The World Health Organisation chief has called on communities in the centre of the Congo's latest Ebola outbreak to play a central role in fighting the disease.
WHO Director-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus arrived in the Democratic Republic of Congo to co-ordinate the response to the Ebola outbreak, for which 1028 suspected cases had been recorded by Friday, according to Congolese authorities.
"The communities understand the problems better and they know the solution as well," WHO Director-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus told reporters after arriving in Bunia, the provincial capital of Ituri, a hotspot of the ongoing Ebola outbreak.
