US Missionary Who Contracted Ebola Is on His Way to Germany, CDC Says
- On Tuesday, Germany confirmed preparations to admit and treat American medical missionary Peter Stafford at the Charite hospital in Berlin after he contracted Ebola in the Democratic Republic of Congo.
- Stafford contracted the virus while treating patients at Nyankunde hospital in the DRC, testing positive late on May 17 after exposure related to his work since 2023.
- Missionary group Serge said it was "grateful for international cooperation to safely care for" the family of six and Dr. Patrick LaRochelle, who had been treating Ebola patients alongside Stafford.
- Congolese Health Minister Samuel Roger Kamba reported 131 deaths from 513 suspected cases as the World Health Organization declared the outbreak an international health emergency in the Ituri province.
- WHO chief Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus said he was "deeply concerned" by the contagion; no vaccine or treatment exists for the Bundibugyo strain, which has killed more than 15,000 people in Africa in the past half century.
