5 Ebola patients have recovered from rare strain of virus, WHO chief says

Five patients have recovered from the Bundibugyo Ebola strain in Congo, where 906 suspected cases and 223 deaths have been reported across Congo and Uganda, with no approved treatment or vaccine available. For health and crisis management leaders, the outbreak's spread — outpacing response despite new facilities — signals that community trust and rapid care-seeking behavior remain the critical variables, not just medical countermeasures.
