Dozens at an Ebola treatment center in Congo strike over unpaid salaries and bonuses

Dozens of workers at an Ebola treatment center in northeast Congo have gone on strike over unpaid salaries and bonuses. The staff at Rwampara General Hospital in Ituri province includes epidemiologists, case investigators, drivers, and gravediggers. They say they have not been paid by the Congolese authorities. The hospital was closed on Monday by the protesting staff, who blocked the road leading to it. Congolese authorities say they are working on the issue. They declared the Ebola outbreak on May 15, after the disease had been transmitting for weeks without official detection, according to the World Health Organization.
