The White House refrained from allowing an American doctor exposed to the Ebola virus in the Democratic Republic of Congo to be treated promptly, according to https://www.washingtonpost.com/health/2026/05/20/white-house-resisted-letting-doctor-with-ebola-return-us/" rel="" target="_self" title="https://www.washingtonpost.com/health/2026/05/20/white-house-resisted-letting-doctor-with-ebola-return-us/">The Washington Post.

The administration’s hesitation to admit the return of Dr. Peter Stafford, 39, to the United States delayed his evacuation for treatment in Germany, the newspaper said, citing five people familiar with the Ebola response.
