Impact verdict
Medium impact. Ebola outbreaks in DRC carry significant mortality risk and can escalate rapidly, but the geographic isolation of the affected towns and limited insured population in northeastern DRC constrain direct insured losses; humanitarian and reinsurance exposure is the primary concern.
