African health authorities insist Ebola outbreak can be stopped
African health authorities claim the Ebola outbreak can be stopped and anticipate a vaccine by year-end, while a former US health official warns it could become the worst epidemic. Over 200 deaths and nearly 1,000 cases have been reported, though the World Health Organization suggests these figures are undercounts. The outbreak's epicenter in the Democratic Republic of Congo faces challenges due to ongoing conflicts.
