Abstract

Focusing on the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC), this chapter explores the intersection of environmental degradation, zoonotic spillover, and health system fragility. It synthesizes research on deforestation, mining, and biodiversity loss as drivers of infectious disease emergence, including Ebola and Nipah-like viruses. The chapter advocates for integrated surveillance systems that combine environmental data with health records, positioning EHR interoperability as a tool for early warning and cross-sectoral response.
