🧪🩺 A major breakthrough in the fight against Ebola is happening right now. 🌍 For the first time, people affected by the current Bundibugyo Ebola outbreak in the Democratic Republic of the Congo are being enrolled in a new international clinical trial testing potential life-saving treatments. Since the outbreak began: ⚠️ More than 1,400 people have been diagnosed. ❤️ Nearly 210 people have recovered. 🕊️ Nearly 440 people have died. Unlike some other types of Ebola, there are currently no approved treatments for Bundibugyo virus disease. 💙 The new PARTNERS trial will evaluate promising antiviral medicines while ensuring every patient receives the best supportive care, including fluids, oxygen, pain relief and close medical monitoring. *Why does this matter?* 🔍 Research during an outbreak helps scientists find answers when they are needed most, not years later. Every participant brings us one step closer to safer, more effective treatments that could save lives now and in future outbreaks. 🔬 Science today. Hope for tomorrow.
