Title
DRC Health Data Ebola 2018
Description
On 1 August 2018, the Ministry of Health of the Democratic Republic of the Congo declared a new outbreak of Ebola virus disease in North Kivu Province. The Ministry of Health, WHO and partners are responding to this event, and working to establish the full extent of this outbreak. Numbers may fluctuate on a daily basis due to many factors, including continuing monitoring, investigation and reclassification of cases. Alert and suspected cases (not reported here), are systematically investigated to confirm or exclude Ebola virus disease before inclusion in the case counts or discarded as non-cases. WHO GIS team is supporting the National Health Information System Division (DSNIS) to update the health related geographic data (health zones, areas and health facility structures) and other spatial information such as road, building, school together with the OpenStreetMap community and various partners. To carry out this work, the methodology was decided with local cartographers and together we were able to improve the data locally.
