GOMA, Democratic Republic of Congo - Health workers in one of the epicenters of eastern Democratic Republic of Congo’s Ebola outbreak threatened on Wednesday to go on strike as early as next week if authorities don’t do more to protect them.
In the latest attack, on a hospital in the city of Butembo, a senior World Health Organization epidemiologist from Cameroon was killed and two others wounded last Friday.
