Ebola Crisis - 2026


Frontline Ebola Response in Eastern Democratic Republic of the Congo


As the Ebola response continues, Amigos Internacionales and Doctors on Mission International are providing journalists with timely information, original field photography, interviews, and medically reviewed background resources.

Why this story matters

• Frontline Christian physicians are responding to an active Ebola outbreak.

• Texas-based ministry has supported East African healthcare for nearly six decades.

• Response is strengthening long-term healthcare systems—not simply providing temporary disaster relief.

Media inquiries are welcomed. Original photography, video, physician interviews, and background information are available for publication with attribution.

About the Response

Amigos Internacionales has partnered with churches, physicians, and healthcare leaders throughout East Africa for nearly sixty years.

During the current Ebola outbreak in eastern Democratic Republic of the Congo, our medical teams are supporting frontline healthcare workers through long-standing partnerships that existed long before this emergency began.

Unlike organizations that deploy only after a crisis develops, our work is built on trusted relationships with local medical professionals, churches, and community leaders.

This media center provides journalists with reliable background information, original photography, and access to knowledgeable interview sources.
