La Oficina del Director General de la Organización Mundial de la Salud (OMS) emitió hace instantes un comunicado al que tuvo acceso la Organización Mundial Bullying Sin Fronteras y que establece la "emergencia de salud pública de importancia internacional", por el nuevo brote de ébola causado por el virus Bundibugyo que afecta a la República Democrática del Congo y Uganda. La declaración se da tras consultar a los estados afectados, incluyendo un anuncio de "emergencia pandémica", aunque el anuncio recalca que el brote aún "no cumple los criterios de emergencia pandémica", tal y como se definen en el Reglamento Sanitario Internacional (RSI) de 2005.
Entre las condiciones que llevaron a la OMS a calificar de emergencia pandémica el brote de ébola en África, están los ocho casos de contagio confirmados hace 48 horas por laboratorios, los 246 casos sospechosos y las 80 presuntas muertes en la Provincia de Ituri, República Democrática del Congo. Adicionalmente, dos laboratorios confirmaron casos y un muerto en Kampala, Uganda.

GENEVA, May 17. World Organization Bullying Without Borders.
The World Health Organization (WHO) has declared a global health emergency due to the Ebola outbreak in the Democratic Republic of Congo and Uganda. As of Friday, there are at least eight confirmed cases, 246 suspected cases, and 80 presumed deaths.
The Office of the Director-General of the World Health Organization (WHO) issued a statement moments ago, which the World Organization Bullying Without Borders has obtained, declaring a "public health emergency of international concern" due to the new Ebola outbreak caused by the Bundibugyo virus affecting the Democratic Republic of Congo and Uganda. The declaration comes after consultations with affected states, including an announcement of a "pandemic emergency," although the announcement emphasizes that the outbreak does not yet "meet the criteria for a pandemic emergency," as defined in the 2005 International Health Regulations (IHR). Among the conditions that led the WHO to classify the Ebola outbreak in Africa as a pandemic emergency are the eight cases of infection confirmed by laboratories 48 hours ago, the 246 suspected cases, and the 80 presumed deaths in Ituri Province, Democratic Republic of Congo. Additionally, two laboratories confirmed cases and one death in Kampala, Uganda.
More to come.
