PBS News Hour | "Congo Ebola outbreak on track to become deadliest in history”
PBS interviewed Dr. Anne Rimoin, professor in the Department of Epidemiology, about the current ebola outbreak in Central Africa.
The PBS News Hour interviewed Dr. Anne Rimoin, associate dean of global health and professor in the Department of Epidemiology, about the scale and size of the current Ebola outbreak in the Democratic Republic of the Congo, where at least 2,100 people have died.
“You have an outbreak that's occurring on top of already a series of emergencies in a place like the DRC,” said Dr. Anne Rimoin, director of the Center for Global Health Security at the UCLA Fielding School of Public Health. "You have conflict, you have poor health care infrastructure, you have poor infrastructure in general, and so it's not surprising to see that this outbreak is continuing to spiral out of control, given all of the things that are happening at the same time.”
It ran widely on PBS stations, including on WNET-TV (NY), among others.
