The fight against Ebola 

The World

More than a year into the Ebola outbreak in the Democratic Republic of Congo, at least 2,000 people have died. One bright spot is the number of survivors has now surpassed 1,000. That includes Dr. Maurice Kakule and Mbusa Kavunga. Host Marco Werman speaks with both of them about their experiences and the opportunities and challenges that come with surviving this disease.
