While much of the world’s attention has been focused on novel coronavirus, the Democratic Republic of Congo has been reeling from a deadly outbreak: Ebola. The second-largest Ebola epidemic on record has affected DRC’s North Kivu and Ituri provinces, and has killed over 2,200 people and infected over 3,400 since August 1, 2018. The grave situation has been exacerbated by ongoing fighting in the region: several health workers have been killed in what the WHO describes as warzone-like violence, and scores of people have been displaced from their homes, increasing risk of spreading infection.
However, the WHO announced an encouraging milestone this week in the fight against Ebola: a new, effective vaccine. Four African countries, including the DRC, Burundi, Ghana, and Zambia, have licensed the vaccine, called Ervebo. Dr. Matshidiso Moeti, WHO regional director for Africa commented, “The rapid approval of the Ebola vaccine by countries in the Africa region helps ensure this critical prevention tool will be available when and where it is needed most. This kind of collaboration and innovation is a model for other health priorities.” Ervebo has been shown to be nearly 98% effective, and can reduce the chances of dying for those already infected.
Ervebo, manufactured by the company Merck, is expected to be registered in additional countries in coming weeks, according to WHO. WHO leaders said the prequalification process was the “fastest vaccine prequalification process ever,” demonstrating the success the global community can achieve when commitment and motivation are high. “The development, study, and rapid prequalification of this vaccine show what the global community can do when we prioritize the health needs of vulnerable people,” said WHO Director-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus.

Happiness is all i see now I never thought that I will be cured from HERPES virus again. I have been suffering from a deadly disease (HERPES) for the past 3 years now, I had spent a lot of money going from one places to another, from churches to churches, hospitals have been my home every day residence. Constant checks up have been my hobby not until this faithful day, I was searching through the internet, I saw a testimony on how DR agaba helped someone in curing his HERPES disease, quickly I copied his email which is Dragabasolutionhome@gmail.com just to give him a test I spoke to him, he asked me to do some certain things which I did, he told me that he is going to provide the herbal cure to me, which he did, then he asked me to go for medical checkup after some days after using the herbal cure, behold I was free from the deadly disease, he only asked me to post the testimony through the whole world, faithfully am doing it now, please brothers and sisters, he is great, I owe him in return. if you are having a similar problem just email him on : Dragabasolutionhome@gmail.com or WhatApp: +2349074536486
