WHO: early care and oxygen key to Ebola survival in DRC

Original: DRC: Early access to care and oxygen decisive for Ebola patients’ survival – WHO

The World Health Organization says early access to medical care and oxygen is decisive for the survival of Ebola patients in the Democratic Republic of the Congo. Health authorities are being urged to get suspected cases into treatment centres quickly, as patients who receive supportive care, including oxygen therapy, in the early stages of the illness have far better chances of recovery.

Why now: An Ebola outbreak in the DRC is ongoing and WHO guidance on early treatment directly affects how responders contain it.
