BIASES AND FRAMING IDENTIFIED

Eurocentrism framing: German coverage emphasizes the repatriation to Berlin's Charité and the French case, allocating less space to health dynamics internal to Congo.

Preference for institutional sources: analysis relies primarily on the WHO and IOM, marginalizing voices from Congolese health practitioners and affected populations.

Insufficient coverage of structural causes: the absence of a Bundibugyo vaccine and armed conflicts are mentioned, but chronic underfunding deficits in African health systems receive limited development.
