WHO suggests Tanzania is keeping Ebola crisis secret

The World Health Organisation has suggested Tanzania may be keeping its emerging Ebola crisis secret, even as the region struggles to contain an already declared outbreak. 

The WHO reports a woman who had been diagnosed with the disease, died on the 8thof September, and two further cases have been identified, but the limited available information from Tanzanian authorities represents a challenge for medical responders. 

Last week the US health secretary, Alex Azar criticised Tanzania for its failure to share information on the possible outbreak. The next day he dispatched a senior US health official to Tanzania.
