GREEN LIGHT For New Ebola Treatments In DR Congo

Authorities in the Democratic Republic of Congo have approved the use of four experimental Ebola treatments in two provinces, where 75 people have tested positive for the illness and 32 people have died.

Ten patients have already received doses of a previously approved treatment - which consists of antibodies from a survivor and patients are reportedly showing signs of progress.

The ongoing vaccination campaign in DR Congo's north-eastern North Kivu and Ituri provinces faces significant challenges.

This is the 10th outbreak in the country but the first in a conflict zone
