Ebola now causes 5,000 deaths and 10,000 cases while the world looks the other way
Kenya's first fatal victim travelled 2,000 kilometres through three countries ill and undetected with the infection
A person infected with Ebola traveled over 2,000 kilometers through three countries, visiting at least 10 cities, taking three flights and a bus, and visiting several health centers, before being correctly diagnosed. The individual started in Buta, in the northeast of the Democratic Republic of Congo, which is affected by the Bundibugyo Ebola epidemic declared in May.
The person was misdiagnosed with Rift Valley fever at hospitals in Bondo and Kisangani. The Africa CDC reported the case, and the Ebola outbreak has now surpassed 5,000 deaths.
