Congo says health workers are tracing 72% of the contacts of Ebola patients.
But aid workers disagreed.
In a Turi province, the epicentre of the outbreak, many people are avoiding hospital and deaths are occurring in communities unrecorded.
Some senior aid workers say that they're only managing to trace about 40% of contacts.
The Turi's health system has been devastated by decades of conflict and neglect.
Kambali's medical staff there say they're also struggling to isolate suspected Ebola patients.
Until recently, patients regardless of ailment were sharing toilet space at a rural hospital.
Fixing these problems involves the slow task of building new infrastructure as Ebola spreads fast.
For NPR News, I'm Emmett Livingstone in Kinshasa.
Our lost and found is currently filled with pants.
I don't know, I've never seen this happen.
Thank you.
Yeah, to put it bluntly, the situation is dire.
For lots of people, life is still continuing as before, but because it has to.
Children are going to school, people are going to church on Sundays and so on.
But there's also a growing sense of fear.
Ebola is spreading across a huge and difficult-to-access area.
It's also spreading in Bunia, a city of over one million people.
and there is a massive international response underway, but this outbreak was caught very late.
In the hospitals I visited, there was a constant arrival of suspected Ebola patients, and in many cases, because of poor health infrastructure, there's no way to isolate these cases, so they risk infecting others.
