World Health Organization (WHO) Director-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus on Saturday called on countries that have imposed travel bans or closed borders in response to the Ebola outbreak in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) and Uganda to reconsider such measures.

Speaking at a joint press conference in Bunia, the capital of the northeastern Ituri Province and the epicenter of the Ebola outbreak, Tedros said such restrictions could complicate response efforts and risk discouraging transparency and trust, which are essential to saving lives.

Despite the lack of approved vaccines and specific medicines, the WHO chief said patients could still recover if they receive timely, quality medical care.

He pledged commitment to ensuring that other essential health services and humanitarian assistance continue to be provided to communities across Ituri and beyond.

On Thursday, the WHO chief arrived in Kinshasa, the DRC capital, as the country steps up its response to the fast-spreading Ebola outbreak with joint efforts of the WHO and other international partners.

Upon his landing, Tedros told reporter that "it is a very complex outbreak."

Tedros traveled to Bunia during his visit to inspect the situation and support response.

The latest crisis is the DRC's 17th Ebola outbreak since 1976, which is caused by the Bundibugyo strain, for which there is currently no licensed vaccine or specific treatment.

On Thursday, Africa CDC reported a total of 1,077 suspected cases and 246 probable deaths have been recorded since the DRC declared its 17th Ebola outbreak two weeks ago.
