Ebola virus disease is one of the most serious and deadliest infectious diseases in the world with a sufficient number of recorded deaths. Since its discovery in 1976 until its last epidemic (14th), recorded and declared on April 23, 2022 by the National Minister of Public Health of the Democratic Republic of Congo and we have observed a succession of simultaneous epidemics of the disease to Ebola virus. This disease escapes the control of the health system of the Democratic Republic of the Congo, a health system which is already destabilized by the corona virus disease 2019 pandemic. Since the World Health Organization has already classified the Ebola virus disease as a major public health problem at the global level, this epidemic remains an important issue to consider the possible and necessary means at all levels (political as well as health) to put an end to this disease. Despite the seriousness of this disease, the dangers, clinical manifestations and modes of transmission of which are well understood by healthcare personnel. The Congolese population should be informed of the risks of this Ebola virus disease. The World Health Organization, the disease control center in collaboration with the Congolese government are implementing preventive and curative measures to slow the progression of this disease in the affected areas and prevent the areas still spared from being affected. In this present work, we will talk about some characteristics of the Ebola virus disease and show the different efforts and recommendations to be taken to end this disease.
埃博拉病毒病是世界上最严重、致死率最高的传染病之一，有大量死亡记录。自1976年发现以来，直至2022年4月23日刚果民主共和国国家公共卫生部长记录并宣布的最后一次（第14次）疫情，我们观察到埃博拉病毒病疫情接连同时爆发。这种疾病不受刚果民主共和国卫生系统的控制，而该国卫生系统已因2019年冠状病毒病大流行而陷入不稳定状态。由于世界卫生组织已将埃博拉病毒病列为全球层面的重大公共卫生问题，这场疫情仍是一个重要议题，需要考虑各级（政治和卫生层面）可能且必要的手段来终结这种疾病。尽管这种疾病很严重，但其危险、临床表现和传播方式医护人员都很清楚。应该让刚果民众了解这种埃博拉病毒病的风险。世界卫生组织、疾病控制中心与刚果政府合作，正在实施预防和治疗措施，以减缓这种疾病在受影响地区的蔓延，并防止尚未受影响的地区受到波及。在本研究中，我们将探讨埃博拉病毒病的一些特征，并展示为终结这种疾病需要做出的不同努力和建议。
