The World Health Organisation chief has travelled to the province hardest hit by an Ebola outbreak in the Democratic Republic of Congo, urging residents to seek treatment and practice safe burials as officials scramble to contain the fatal disease.
The outbreak - the 17th in the DR Congo and the third-largest since Ebola was discovered half a century ago - is outpacing the global response, something WHO director-general Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus acknowledged this week before travelling to Kinshasa on Thursday.
His visit came as Brazil said on Saturday it was investigating a suspected Ebola case in Sao Paulo state involving a man who recently visited DR Congo.
