The World Health Organization says Tanzania is failing to provide details on suspected Ebola cases
Traditional healer, Bi Mwanahija Mzee, holds four-week-old patient Mundhir Nasoor, in Zanzibar City, Tanzania, January 19, 2019.
The statement on Saturday says Tanzania's government "despite several requests" is refusing to share the results of its investigations into a number of patients with Ebola-like symptoms and is refusing to ship patient samples to an outside WHO partner lab. A rapid response is crucial in containing Ebola, which can be fatal in up to 90% of cases and is most often spread by close contact with bodily fluids of people exhibiting symptoms or with contaminated objects.
