is leading the World Health Organization's on-the-ground response to the ongoing Ebola outbreak in the Democratic Republic of the Congo. And as each new person falls sick, his team must race to figure out how the person got infected. So, Yao says,"we ask the person a series of questions.

Just finding all the private clinics is difficult because there's no official list, says Yao. Officials know about only the ones reported by Ebola patients. Dr. Cimanuka Germain of International Medical Corps, which is helping with the effort, says private clinics sometimes resist the help.
