AGP Executive Report
Last update: 10 hours agoEbola Surge in Eastern DRC: Congo’s health ministry says the Ebola death toll has hit 600 and 1,759 confirmed cases since mid-May, with new suspected cases reported in Tshopo (including Kisangani) and Haut-Uele—pushing the outbreak beyond the Ituri epicenter. Africa CDC Warning: Africa CDC calls it the fastest-growing Ebola outbreak ever, saying the virus is moving faster than the response and cases may be doubling every 28 days. WHO: Not Yet at Peak: WHO says the outbreak is still in a “very active” phase and its true scale isn’t fully known; treatment centers are under heavy pressure. Clinical Trials Move Forward: WHO-backed trials in the DRC are testing MBP134 and remdesivir for the Bundibugyo strain, which currently has no approved vaccine or treatment. Health System Strain: Reports also flag funding gaps, attacks on health facilities, and health worker threats of strike over unpaid benefits and poor conditions.
