Viral haemorrhagic fevers
What are viral haemorrhagic fevers?
A number of diseases are included in this group. The common denominators are 1) the possible emergence of a disease with general bleedings – often leading to death; 2) the potential risk to close contacts (i.e. caretakers, hospital personnel)
As the outbreak hits 1000 cases, implementing response measures remains challenging because of the prolonged humanitarian crisis, the unstable security situation and the resistance among the population.
