Health worker mistrust worsening DR Congo Ebola outbreak: Study - SABC News - Breaking news, special reports, world, business, sport coverage of all South African current events. Africa's news leader.

More than 1 000 people are now known to have been infected during the eight-month-old epidemic, almost two-thirds of whom have died, according to the country’s health ministry.

The authors of the study, published in the journal The Lancet Infectious Diseases, said such mistrust was a factor in prolonging the epidemic. The current Ebola crisis in DR Congo is already the second deadliest on record, after the epidemic that struck West Africa in 2014-16, which killed more than 11 300 people.But Vinck said not enough thought was given to how the vaccine might be received by local communities.

“That challenge is in the context of decades of ongoing violence and poor governance, so the trust in institutional actors is really, really low.”
