Mr Ghebreyesus said that it was the largest first-month caseload of any Ebola outbreak in Africa.
He said an estimated eight million babies are born with a birth defect annually worldwide, underscoring the urgent need for stronger screening systems.
WHO has issued its first comprehensive clinical guidelines for filovirus diseases as DRC battles an Ebola outbreak caused by the Bundibugyo virus.
“We can’t have that because we also deserve good things in our country. We cannot solve every single country’s problem. It is not practical,” said Ms Ngobese-Zuma.
“These include at least five Ethiopians killed earlier in the attacks, and five Mozambicans who died in Mossel Bay,” said Mr Ghebreyesus.
She said Uganda is also setting up 50-bed treatment units this week to support Ebola response efforts in eastern DRC, the epicentre of the current outbreak.
Mr Ghebreyesus said that there was no licenced treatment or vaccine for the Ebola outbreak caused by Bundibugyo virus.
The WHO chief said early supportive care in the treatment centers could make a real difference while there is no cure for the virus.
He urged neighbouring countries to strengthen surveillance at points of entry.
“Without the pathogen access and benefit-sharing annex, the world is not truly ready for the next pandemic,” he said.
