Healthcare workers are trying to contain the spread of the virus but are facing a number of obstacles. Among them, France 24 cites resistance from communities, misinformation, and strikes by workers who have not been paid.
The work of medical personnel is also complicated by threats from rebel groups. As a result, efforts to contain the rapidly spreading Ebola outbreak are more difficult, the TV channel notes.
