The World Health Organization (WHO) has declared the Ebola outbreak in the Democratic Republic of Congo 🇨🇩 and Uganda 🇺🇬 a Public Health Emergency of International Concern—its highest alert level. The outbreak involves the rare Bundibugyo strain, which currently has no approved vaccines or specific treatments.
Health authorities report rising suspected cases in eastern Congo, while cross-border transmission has already been confirmed in Uganda, including cases in the capital, Kampala. Increased movement, conflict zones, and limited surveillance are raising concerns about wider spread.
WHO is urging countries to strengthen monitoring, activate emergency response systems, and consider delaying mass gatherings to contain the outbreak.
