Health workers at an Ebola treatment center in eastern Congo have gone on strike, demanding unpaid wages. This walkout has disrupted care for patients in the epicenter of a rapidly growing Ebola outbreak, where confirmed cases have reached nearly 3,000, including over 1,300 deaths. The World Health Organization (WHO) maintains that the global risk of the outbreak spreading outside Central Africa is low.
