The United Nations' World Health Organization has dispatched a team to the Democratic Republic of Congo to identify the cause of a mysterious respiratory illness affecting many, especially children.
Dubbed 'Disease X,' this flu-like respiratory illness has been linked to symptomatic cases including body aches, fever, cough, and difficulty breathing, raising urgent health concerns.
As testing resources are scarce in the remote area, the WHO expresses hope that further analysis will uncover the underlying cause of the respiratory disease affecting Congo.
The illness, predominantly noted in Kwango Province, exemplifies potential outbreaks of existing diseases, highlighting Congo's ongoing struggles with access to basic healthcare.
