WHO says it was not told Nigeria's first Ebola patient had travelled to Congo as the outbreak reaches its widest spread ever
WHO health workers support Nigeria's efforts to contain the Ebola outbreak after a woman who arrived from Uganda went undiagnosed at a private Abuja hospital for eight days.
Health officials are now scrambling to trace the origins of the case. Nigeria is the latest country hit, and the late detection of its first case has raised alarm. The outbreak has spread from Congo to four other countries across Africa. Africa CDC has called an emergency summit to tackle the crisis.
The Nigeria case is the first ever recorded in the West African nation.
The patient's trip to Congo was not flagged to the WHO.
