The health minister of the Democratic Republic of the Congo offered his resignation after the President of the country decided to move the mandate for the Ebola response directly under his supervision.
Ilunga’s move came after DRC President Felix Tshisekedi’s office announced on Saturday it was assigning responsibility for the response to a multi-disciplinary team that would report directly to Tshisekedi.
“As a result of your decision to place the response to the Ebola outbreak under your direct supervision … I hereby submit my resignation as health minister,” Ilunga said.
“As in any war, because that is what this is, there cannot be several centres of decision-making for risk of creating confusion,” he added.
