DRC Ebola outbreak uncontrolled: 8,067 cases, 3,901 deaths, 48% mortality

The DRC's Ebola outbreak remains uncontrolled, with 8,067 confirmed cases and 3,901 deaths across seven provinces as of September 26, a mortality rate exceeding 48%. The ongoing spread indicates a sustained public-health emergency, though the source is a single regional outlet and case counts may lag. This matters because uncontrolled Ebola in a multi-province area risks regional spillover and strains already fragile health systems.
