7 Ebola patients recover in DRC

Seven people who contracted Ebola have recovered and were released from a treatment center in DR Congo on Tuesday, according to local health officials from the Alliance for International Medical Action (ALIMA). The recoveries bring hope amid the ongoing outbreak declared on May 15. The World Health Organization has reported progress on testing capacities, but humanitarians continue to emphasize the importance of community trust in combating the virus. The discharges mark a positive step in containment efforts, as armed attacks on medical facilities and fear of infection among pregnant women have complicated the response.
