Mental health made central to Ebola response efforts

Original: From illness to hope: mental health at the heart of the Ebola response

The World Health Organization's Regional Office for Africa is highlighting the psychological dimension of Ebola care, moving beyond treatment of physical symptoms. Its message, 'From illness to hope', stresses that survivors, families and frontline health workers need mental health and psychosocial support as part of outbreak response. The agency frames emotional recovery as essential to rebuilding lives in affected communities.

Why now: WHO is drawing attention to the often-overlooked psychological toll of Ebola outbreaks in Africa.
