Ebola's Unseen Victims: The Human Toll on Health Workers The World Health Organization's (WHO) recent declaration of the highest risk level in the Democratic Republic of Congo serves as a stark reminder that Ebola outbreaks are not just public health crises, but also humanitarian disasters.
Behind every reported case and fatality lies a complex web of human stories, many of which go untold. Health workers on the frontlines of this crisis face unimaginable challenges.
With each new case, they risk contracting the virus themselves, exposing their families to potential infection, and sacrificing their personal lives for the sake of containing the outbreak.
