#ebola

A group of pro-Israel lawyers is urging the UK government to label Doctors Without Borders a terrorist organisation over its work in #Gaza. UK Lawyers for Israel (UKLFI) allege that the charity – which provides life-saving medical aid to people in warzones – has links to militant groups, and have called on home secretary Shabana Mahmood to proscribe the charity. DWB are also one of the organisations fighting #Ebola in the DRC

Meanwhile in the DRC, the Ebola outbreak continues to outrun the efforts to suppress it; medical teams previously funded by USAID are now woefully under-resourced; in the next two weeks some projections have Ebola reaching Kinshasa, and spreading in sprawling urban centre, making containing the outbreak even more difficult. Its starting to look like the pre-title sequence for a human apocalypse movie. My feeling is we should be more worried than we are! #Ebola #Politics h/y Observer

Rapid diagnostics are critical during outbreaks. However, EU regulations now require every test to undergo lengthy approval studies. Using the #Ebola outbreak, a team led by Prof. Christian Drosten at #CharitéBerlin has found a way to quickly assess the quality of new PCR tests, speeding up their availability. 👉 https://www.charite.de/en/research/paper_spotlight/the_path_to_new_diagnostic_tests_during_outbreaks_and_pandemics/ #CharitéPaper #Bundibugyo #CharitéVirology #GlobalHealth #diagnostics #DRC #research #science #PublicHealth

"Misinformation and distrust are among the challenges facing public health workers in the Democratic Republic of Congo as they confront the second-deadliest Ebola outbreak on record. Even though the virus has faded from U.S. headlines, key organizations are still at work providing medical care and training to counter the spread of the disease." https://kffhealthnews.org/public-health/ebola-response-organizations-central-africa-democratic-republic-congo/#PublicHealth #GlobalHealth #misinformation #ebola #outbreak #CDC
