World Health Organization & Richard Li

World Health Organization: The World Health Organization is leading the international response to the Ebola outbreak in the Democratic Republic of the Congo, revising its risk assessment to 'very high' nationally and launching a $518 million plan to combat the spread. Its efforts are hampered by conflict and community mistrust.

Richard Li: Dr. Richard Li, medical director of Mongbwalu General Hospital, is working on the front lines of the Ebola outbreak with minimal compensation and resources, facing widespread skepticism and attacks on health facilities.

World Health Organization: Publicly warned that the policy contradicts decades of evidence and could leave children unprotected. Its stance reinforces international scientific consensus against the order.

Richard Li: A Democratic House candidate and physician, he is using the order to campaign on science-based health policy.
