'We can stop' Ebola outbreak, WHO's Tedros says

UN health chief Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus called on Saturday for more international help to combat the spread of the deadly Ebola virus in Democratic Republic of Congo as he arrived in the eastern province worst-hit by a severe outbreak.

The World Health Organization director general told reporters in Bunia, that the international community was helping the DRC government cope with the outbreak. But he added that "community ownership" was also needed -- including overcoming "mistrust" and false information -- and an increase in financial support from other countries.
