Health workers are hard at work in the DRC which is in the midst of an outbreak of Ebola.
HEALTH workers battling war, fear and disease in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) are receiving psychological support as they race to contain an Ebola outbreak.
Experts say ongoing conflict and insecurity are making it harder to track infections and reach vulnerable communities.
Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF) teams are working around the clock but have warned that the overall response has not yet caught up to the rapid spread of the epidemic.
Dr Jean-Gilbert Ndong, the medical coordinator for MSF in the DRC, says fear, mistrust, conflict and insecurity have added another layer to an already complex situation, making the outbreak harder to contain.
