AGP Executive Report
Last update: 9 hours agoEbola Crisis Update: DR Congo’s Ebola outbreak has climbed to 5,713 confirmed cases and 2,744 deaths (Aug 25), now in six provinces and 58 health zones, with nearly half of confirmed patients dying—WHO says the curve is still not bent and transmission is outpacing control. WHO Guidance & Social Measures: WHO issued updated temporary recommendations for the Bundibugyo outbreak, adding tighter surveillance, infection control, clinical care, risk communication, plus new rules on social restrictions, mass gatherings, and domestic mobility. Vaccine Push: Kinshasa has received 16,520 doses of Merck’s Ervebo, with 70,000 total planned; 20,000 are for a Phase 3 trial and 50,000 for frontline and health workers, though effectiveness against Bundibugyo remains unproven. Hidden Spread Concern: Africa CDC warns official counts may reflect only 30–40% of infections, estimating 10,000–15,000 cases. River Surveillance: The “Congo River Without Ebola” initiative targets ports and river routes to protect hubs like Kinshasa and Mbandaka.
