In the town of Bunia in the Democratic Republic of Congo’s Ituri province – the epicentre of the current Ebola outbreak – community trust appears to be growing.
Medical staff say more people are coming to receive treatment for the deadly haemorrhagic virus, making their care easier.
At least a dozen facilities have been attacked by ordinary people, largely due to fear, misinformation and deep mistrust of outside authorities.
Most of the 1,000 death from Ebola since mid-May have occurred in communities, not in treatment centres.
Dr Job Kkabagambe Tibasima is the deputy supervisor for the Ministry of Health at the Ebola Treatment Centre at the Evangelical Medical Centre in Bunia.
