Briefings

A recent report highlights surveillance gaps in the Central African Republic's south-eastern region of Zemio, where proximity to the Democratic Republic of Congo raises fears of Ebola spread. Health screening is hampered by the repeated absence of health workers at checkpoints, forcing residents to use unofficial crossing points instead of official ones.

Key points

• Health screening remains difficult in Zemio, the country's south-eastern region, due to the repeated absence of health workers at checkpoints.
• Residents are forced to cross the border through unofficial crossing points rather than official ones due to the lack of surveillance.
