    World Health Organization has urged significantly broadening the Ebola response in the Democratic Republic of the Congo. Director-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus highlighted that health teams have yet to trace every transmission chain. As of September 1, government data reports 6,250 confirmed cases and 3,039 fatalities in Congo. The Bundibugyo Ebola outbreak now impacts 60 health zones spanning six provinces. Congo’s Ebola response expands as Bundibugyo transmission remains active. This epidemic represents Congo’s largest and deadliest Ebola outbreak ever recorded and ranks as the second-largest globally after the 2014-2016 West Africa epidemic.
