世卫组织宣布刚果（金）埃博拉疫情构成全球卫生紧急事件

世界卫生组织（WHO）近日正式宣布，刚果民主共和国的埃博拉疫情构成"全球卫生紧急事件"（PHEIC）。此次疫情主要集中在东部北基伍省，目前已造成超过80人死亡。

疫情暴发后，当地医疗系统承受巨大压力。国际卫生组织已启动紧急响应，包括疫苗接种、接触者追踪和隔离措施。北基伍省长期面临安全局势不稳，武装冲突和人口流动给疫情防控工作带来额外挑战。

WHO总干事在声明中呼吁国际社会加大援助力度，向刚果（金）提供医疗物资、专业人员和资金支持。目前，多个国际组织已派出医疗队前往疫区协助应对。

刚果（金）是全球埃博拉疫情最频发的国家之一。该国东部地区由于森林覆盖率较高，人与野生动物接触频繁，增加了病毒从动物传播给人类的风险。

WHO: Ebola Outbreak in DR Congo Declared Global Health Emergency

The World Health Organization has officially declared the Ebola outbreak in the Democratic Republic of Congo a Public Health Emergency of International Concern (PHEIC). The outbreak, concentrated in the eastern North Kivu province, has claimed more than 80 lives.

Local healthcare systems are under severe strain. International health organizations have launched emergency response efforts, including vaccination campaigns, contact tracing, and isolation protocols. The region’s ongoing security challenges, including armed conflict and population displacement, compound the difficulties of containing the outbreak.

The WHO Director-General has called on the international community to scale up assistance, providing medical supplies, personnel, and financial support to the DRC. Several international organizations have already deployed medical teams to the affected areas.
