As Ebola spreads in Congo, a radio station tries to stop health misinformation

Rare Bundibugyo Ebola has surged in eastern Ituri — about 363 confirmed cases and at least 62 deaths after weeks of undetected spread.
Mistrust, misinformation and attacks on health centers have hampered response, made worse by no approved vaccine or treatment for this strain.
A local radio station’s daily call‑in program with health experts and jingles is helping counter rumors and win over skeptical residents.
