Anglican Bishop reports from Congo on Ebola

The deadly Ebola virus spreading through the Democratic Republic of Congo is now outpacing the ability of health workers to respond, according to the World Health Organisation. 

But medical staff aren’t just battling a virus. They’re fighting scepticism among some communities about whether the disease is real, and the role of traditional burial practices in helping to spread Ebola. 

The Anglican Bishop of Goma in the DRC, MARTIN GORDON, is overseeing a major church response.

GUEST:

• Rev Martin Gordon, Bishop of the Diocese of Goma, DRC
