Ebola epidemic not over says WHO

(ANSA) - Rome, April 17 - The Ebola epidemic is waning but not over, the World Health Organisation said Friday, contradicting Italian relief doctor Gino Strada's contention it had ended.
    "The epidemic is still not over and requires a continual commitment and funds to reach zero cases," WHO spokesman Gregory Hartl told ANSA. The number of cases is dropping and transmission zones are coming down too, he said.
    Strada, founder of the Emergency war-zone medical group, said on his Facebook page Thursday night that the battle against Ebola "has been won".
