Frontline pay crisis: In Bunia (Ituri), dozens of health workers protested and walked off jobs demanding unpaid wages and bonuses since mid-May, warning the lack of support could stall the response as the province holds nearly 90% of cases. Vaccine push: Oxford researchers are recruiting volunteers for an Ebola vaccine trial aimed at a new strain, moving fast as deaths rise. Public health workforce strain: Separate reports describe health workers risking infection while waiting for overdue pay, underscoring how staffing and morale are now part of the outbreak control fight.
