Healthcare workers in eastern DR Congo celebrate after the last confirmed Ebola patient leaves a treatment centre, with staff and local residents dancing and singing to mark the occasion. Outlets describe this as a notable milestone for the outbreak response in Ituri, tied to a treatment centre that has stopped seeing confirmed cases.
The reporting frames the event as both a sign of progress and a moment that does not end the broader public-health challenge. Times of India adds that the Bundibugyo outbreak has affected many provinces and that thousands of confirmed cases have been recorded, emphasizing that ongoing surveillance and contact tracing remain necessary. France 24 and Al Jazeera focus more tightly on the celebrations and the treatment centre’s new status of not treating confirmed Ebola cases.
