Ebola case in DRC's Goma a 'potential game-changer' - SABC News - Breaking news, special reports, world, business, sport coverage of all South African current events. Africa's news leader.

Goma, which has a population of around one million, is the capital of North Kivu province, the epicentre of what is now the second deadliest recorded Ebola outbreak on record.

World Health Organization chief, Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus and the agency’s emergency chief, Mike Ryan, both sounded the alarm after an evangelical preacher fell ill in the eastern urban hub. The panel has held off making this call on three previous occasions, citing the limited risk of large-scale international spread.

The Goma patient has been described as a pastor who had been on a trip to another town, Butembo, one of the places hardest hit by the outbreak.
