WHO Says Tanzania May Be Hiding Possible Ebola Cases

The WHO issued a rare public statement about Tanzania's handling of suspected Ebola cases. Despite reports of possible cases, Tanzania has not reported any to WHO and has not cooperated in sharing clinical data. This lack of transparency hinders WHO's ability to assess the risk. Tanzania, bordering the Ebola-affected Democratic Republic of Congo, faces potential economic impacts on tourism if an outbreak occurs. The US urges Tanzania to comply with international health regulations.
