Ebola Fighters Walk Out Over Unpaid Wages | San Francisco News
Description
Frontline Ebola fighters in Ituri province are walking off the job over unpaid wages—leaving clinics understaffed as the outbreak rages. These health workers, risking their lives amid rebel attacks and community hostility, say they’ve gone months without pay since May. With nearly 90% of Congo’s cases concentrated here, their absence threatens containment efforts. WHO leaders and NGOs like Doctors Without Borders warn that without urgent action to compensate and protect them, the epidemic will spiral out of control.
