Ebola outbreak could become worst on record, Africa CDC chief warns

The Ebola outbreak in East Africa is showing signs of escalating into the worst on record, with health officials predicting it could last up to a year and potentially infect thousands if transmission rates continue unchecked. The current outbreak, already one of the largest, is primarily affecting Congo, where distrust of health authorities is complicating efforts to contain the virus. This situation underscores the urgent need for effective public health strategies and community engagement to prevent a catastrophic escalation.
