In the effort to contain the Ebola outbreak in the Democratic Republic of Congo, Doctors Without Borders/Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF) teams often encounter resistance within the communities they are trying to help. It's understandable, as MSF project coordinator John Johnson explains; sick people are scared to go to treatment centers where they know people have died. MSF is working to counter this by engaging continuously with the communities and working to gain their trust.
