The response is further intricate by armed conflict, displacement, and weak health infrastructure. Aid groups also say infections are still outpacing efforts, calling for more testing, faster deployment of medical staff, and better humanitarian access. Some communities have resisted Ebola burial practices, leading to attacks on treatment facilities. Tedros stressed that community involvement and quick care-seeking are key to ending the outbreak.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<article class=\"fn-body\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Five people infected with a rare strain of <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/ebola\/\" type=\"post_tag\" id=\"1073\">Ebola<\/a> have recovered in eastern <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/congo\/\" type=\"post_tag\" id=\"2580\">Congo<\/a>, the head of the <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/world-health-organization\/\" type=\"post_tag\" id=\"316\">World Health Organization<\/a> said Sunday, offering a sign of progress as <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/dems-lost-all-credibility-on-social-distancing-after-biden-celebrations\/\" title=\"Dems Lost All Credibility On Social Distancing After Biden Celebrations\">health officials<\/a> race to contain an outbreak that has spread across parts of Congo and into neighboring <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/uganda\/\" type=\"post_tag\" id=\"3921\">Uganda<\/a>. <\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">WHO Director-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus announced the recoveries during the opening of a new Ebola treatment center in Bunia, the capital of Ituri province and epicenter of the outbreak. <\/p>\n<section class=\"explore-more-section\" id=\"wex-recommended-widget\">\n<div class=\"magazine-container single\">\n<h1 class=\"magazine-title mt-2\">Recommended Stories<\/h1>\n<p>             <i class=\"fa-solid fa-play icon\"><\/i>         <\/div>\n<div class=\"explore-grid\">\n<div class=\"explore-card\">                         <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/policy\/healthcare\/4587856\/name-tweak-boost-glp-1-access-one-eight-women-suffering-pmos\/?itm_source=parsely-api\">                             <\/p>\n<div class=\"explore-thumb-wrap\">                                                                                                                                  <\/div>\n<h3>Name tweak could boost GLP-1 access for one in eight women suffering PMOS<\/h3>\n<p>                         <\/a>                     <\/div>\n<div class=\"explore-card\">                         <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/policy\/healthcare\/4587767\/congo-underlying-challenge-ebola-safety\/?itm_source=parsely-api\">                             <\/p>\n<div class=\"explore-thumb-wrap\">                                                                                                                                  <\/div>\n<h3>Congo faces underlying challenges in battle to overcome Ebola: \u2018You gotta have safety\u2019<\/h3>\n<p>                         <\/a>                     <\/div>\n<div class=\"explore-card\">                         <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/world\/4587665\/unicef-shipment-congo-ebola-outbreak\/?itm_source=parsely-api\">                             <\/p>\n<div class=\"explore-thumb-wrap\">                                                                                                                                  <\/div>\n<h3>UNICEF\u2019s first shipment of supplies arrives in Congo for Ebola outbreak<\/h3>\n<p>                         <\/a>                     <\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/section>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cFour people will be discharged today, and there was one that was discharged the day before yesterday,\u201d Tedros said, emphasizing that recovery is possible even though there is no approved vaccine or treatment for the Bundibugyo strain of the virus behind the outbreak. <\/p>\n<div class=\"article-paywall\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">An additional patient\u2019s recovery was announced on Friday, the first documented recovery from the Bundibugyo strain. <\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The recoveries come as health authorities continue to grapple with a rapidly expanding outbreak that was confirmed in mid-May and later declared a public health emergency of international concern by the WHO. <\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">According to the WHO, Congo has reported 906 suspected cases and 223 suspected deaths linked to the outbreak.
