24 Patients Flee Ebola Treatment Centre

    Democratic Republic of Congo’s health ministry said that 24 patients have fled an Ebola treatment centre in Beni on Thursday.

    The patients had to flee when it came under attack by people protesting the cancellation of Sunday’s presidential election in the eastern city.

    Ministry spokeswoman Jessica Ilunga told Reuters that 17 of the patients had already tested negative for Ebola, while seven had not yet been tested.

    Ilunga said that three patients had already returned to the centre while health workers were in contact with 17 others to coordinate their return.
