YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

At least 220 people are believed to have died from the Ebola outbreak in Central Africa. The World Health Organization says that it is spreading so quickly that response efforts are struggling to keep pace. The epicenter remains in the Democratic Republic of Congo, where mistrust of health authorities is complicating efforts. Geoff Bennett discussed more with Dr. Celine Gounder of KFF Health News.
