DRC Ebola: stories from the frontline

from BBC · host BBC

In eastern Democratic Republic of Congo, where the Ebola outbreak continues to challenge communities, there is still reason for hope. Despite fear, violence and mistrust, many patients are surviving and recovering from the disease. In areas where treatment centres have been attacked and health workers threatened, every recovery offers a much-needed boost to families and communities struggling with the outbreak. We hear from the BBC’s Anne Soy who travelled to the DRC and has been following response teams in hotspots including Bunia, Rwampara and Mongbwalu. Also, we explain how Uganda's cryptocurrency ban has created an illegal network of digital transactions. Presenter: Nkechi Ogbonna Producers: Godwin Asediba and Bella Twine Technical Producer: Davis Mwasaru Senior Producer: Keikantse Shumba Editors: Charles Gitonga and Maryam Abdalla
