Kenya Ebola cases rise to eight as outbreak spreads in Congo

Original: Ebola: Kenya cases rise to 8, spreads to 8th Congo province

Health authorities report that Kenya's Ebola caseload has climbed to eight, while the outbreak in the Democratic Republic of Congo has now reached an eighth province. The twin developments point to a widening regional health emergency, raising concern among health officials and neighbouring countries about containment efforts, cross-border transmission and the capacity of health systems to respond to the escalating epidemic.

Why now: An expanding Ebola outbreak across two African countries is a fast-developing global health concern.
