The World Health Organization hails it as a major step toward ending the outbreak in the country.
The World Health Organization (WHO) has announced that the last patient infected with Ebola in the Democratic Republic of Congo has been discharged from hospital care. This marks a significant milestone in efforts to bring the outbreak under control after months of battling the disease.
According to reports, the patient was released from a treatment center after testing negative for the virus. WHO stated that monitoring will continue for several weeks before declaring the area officially free of Ebola.
The organization praised the dedication of health workers and the government’s swift response, saying the achievement highlights the importance of coordination and rapid action during epidemics.
