Health workers at the epicenter of Congo’s Ebola outbreak labor with little pay or rest

Health workers at the epicenter of Congo's Ebola outbreak are operating with minimal pay and little rest. Health authorities indicate that the outbreak likely originated in Mongbwalu, a bustling mining area. The region attracts numerous laborers for large gold mines who reside in crowded mining camps, which contributed to the virus spreading silently for several weeks without detection before the situation was identified by health officials in the eastern region of Congo.
