AGP Executive Report
Last update: 10 hours agoEbola Expansion in Haut-Uele: DRC’s Haut-Uele province has become the fourth officially affected area in the current Bundibugyo Ebola outbreak after INRB confirmed seven fatal cases in the Wamba health zone; authorities also reported alerts in Pawa, Boma Mangbetu and Isiro, with national figures now at about 1,792 confirmed cases, 625 deaths, and 295 recoveries. Outbreak Still “Very Active”: Health officials say the outbreak has not peaked and is spreading faster than response capacity, with Africa CDC warning cases may be doubling roughly every 28 days and calling for urgent funding and surge support. New Suspected Spread Beyond Ituri: The government and WHO report suspected cases in Tshopo (including Kisangani) and Haut-Uele, underscoring continued movement into previously unaffected areas. Response Under Strain: Treatment centers are described as near saturation, contact follow-up remains incomplete, and health workers have threatened industrial action over unpaid benefits and poor conditions—raising risks for care, tracing, and ongoing experimental treatment trials.
