Ebola care gaps leave young children last to be treated
By The BriefBrief
In the Democratic Republic of Congo’s current Ebola outbreak, children—especially those under age 5—face the highest mortality, with Doctors Without Borders citing rates over 60%. A Lancet commentary says delays are often driven by limited access to medicines and lack of guidance for dosing and using treatments in young patients, rather than the disease alone.
WHO: Doctors Without Borders
WHAT: Doctors Without Borders says children are last to receive Ebola treatment because age-specific medicines and guidance are harder to access.
WHEN: Reported Sep 6, 2026 at 2:13 AM ET
WHERE: Democratic Republic of Congo
WHY: Limited availability of medicines and insufficient information on how to use them for young patients.
