Two more die of Ebola in Congo; seven new cases confirmed

MBANDAKA, Democratic Republic of Congo (Reuters) - Two more people have died from Ebola in Democratic Republic of Congo, authorities said on Tuesday, as aid agencies battled to persuade sceptical residents about the severity of an outbreak that has killed 27 since April.

Deadly and severely controlled disease. But it can be said that the infrastructure in this country in health care is far from good.

Did you see that three of the patients' families showed up at the clinic and 'abducted' them, taking them to church to pray?

The patients' relatives came to the centre, which is run by medical aid agency Medecins Sans Frontieres (MSF), and demanded to take them for prayers, WHO officer Eugéne Kabambi told the BBC.
They were reportedly taken away on motorbikes and a search was ordered by the police.
One patient was found dead at home and his body was returned to the hospital for a safe burial. The other was sent back to hospital on 22 May and died that evening, according to MSF.
