But World Health Organization says it is an emergency in the Democratic Republic of Congo and needs more funding.
Media playback is unsupported on your deviceThe World Health Organization has decided not to declare a global emergency over the Ebola crisis in the Democratic Republic of Congo.However, it was damning of countries for giving less than half the money needed to deal with the disease.This week cases were detected across the border in Uganda, though the virus is not yet spreading there.
It has done so only four times before - including for the Ebola outbreak in West Africa which killed more than 11,000 people. The outbreak met some of the criteria for a global emergency as it was both an extraordinary event and risked international spread.Dr Aavitsland said:"This is not a global emergency, it is an emergency in DRC, it is a severe emergency."
