Health workers in Congo are on strike due to pay issues, affecting efforts to contain the Ebola outbreak. The strike is occurring in the hardest hit province, Ituri, where health professionals and front-line workers have not received wages and bonuses since the outbreak began.

The health workers are also reporting limited gear and unfair treatment by authorities and response teams. A member of the epidemiological surveillance team has expressed demands for payment for their work since the outbreak was declared.

Further details on the strike and its impact on the Ebola outbreak are available from KPRC 2 Houston, including reports from health workers in the affected area.
