"Acknowledging the limits of public health solutions"

The Lancet

The  Ebola  virus  disease  outbreak  in  DR  Congo  has  taken  an alarming turn. Between April 22 and May 12, 343 con-firmed  cases  were  reported,  taking  the  total  number  to  1738  as  of  May  19.  Despite  this  rapid  and  unprecedented  deterioration, WHO has not declared the outbreak a Public Health   Emergency   of   International   Concern   (PHEIC).
