But talking to these leaders, we understood two things,” said Dr. Janabi. Patients taken to Bunia are not always sent directly to an Ebola treatment centre. WHO wants to break this chain by bringing healthcare facilities closer to communities, better informing the public and transport providers, and promptly referring suspected cases to appropriate centres. Dr. Janabi said that after a case was detected, teams identified 159 contacts, including 121 people who were considered suspected cases. Dr. Janabi believes that this approach could produce results in the next two or three months.
