Doctors at the Ebola Treatment Centre in Goma in the eastern Democratic Republic of Congo have confirmed a third case of the disease in that city. The daughter of a miner who died of Ebola yesterday, Wednesday, is the latest victim. This news comes a year to the day after the first diagnois of Ebola in this increasingly serious outbreak.
