Episode Details

Health workers battling Ebola in the Democratic Republic of Congo are going on strike, refusing to treat patients until they’re paid — a bold move that’s disrupting critical care during an outbreak that’s already spiraling out of control. In Ituri province, where most cases are emerging, frontline medics have been unpaid since May, despite risking their lives daily. Protests are mounting outside Bunia’s governor’s office, with weeks of escalating pressure as teams walk off the job — demanding overdue wages and bonuses. This isn’t just about money; it’s about survival for both workers and patients caught in the deadly crossfire.
