Six-year-old Ebola patient taken from DR Congo hospital found and 'doing well'

Days before, crowds set fire to isolation tents in hospital in Rwampara - a town 85km (53 miles) south-east of Mongbwalu - after they were prevented from taking the body of a man thought to have died from Ebola.The body of an Ebola victim is highly infectious and can lead to the virus spreading further when prepared for burial. Ensuring that burials are carried out safely is a key concern for health official trying to tackle the outbreak."People are not properly informed or sensitised about what is happening. For a certain segment of the population, especially in remote areas, Ebola is an invention by outsiders - it does not exist," local politician Luc Malembe told the BBC last month."They believe it is the NGOs and hospitals creating this to make money, and this is tragic."On Friday, a World Health Organisation (WHO) official said the Ebola outbreak in eastern DR Congo was still "evolving so fast".Marie-Roseline Belizaire, WHO Africa's emergencies chief, was quoted by the AFP news agency as saying "the outbreak is serious" but that she had "seen a response that is growing stronger every day".At a briefing, she also said 75 health workers had caught Ebola during the outbreak and, of these cases, 17 had died.The outbreak was declared on May 15, though transmission had been going undetected for some time.
