Africa CDC is coordinating a continental response to the Ebola virus outbreak in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (Ituri) and Uganda, both of which declared outbreaks on the same day—underscoring the urgent need for unified action across borders.
In line with its mandate, Africa CDC is coordinating regional and continental efforts, bringing together all partners to ensure a harmonised response and strengthen health security across the continent.
Yesterday, Africa CDC convened a high-level consultative meeting with over 130 participants, including governments, donor partners, @UN agencies, humanitarian organisations, philanthropies, and pharmaceutical companies, to align strategies and accelerate support for affected and at-risk countries.

Following consultations with DRC’s Ministry of Health and National Public Health Institute, preliminary laboratory results from L’Institut National de Recherche Biomédical - INRB Kinshasa detected Ebola virus in 13 of 20 samples tested.
About 246 suspected cases and 65 deaths have been reported, mainly in the Mongwalu and Rwampara health zones. Four deaths have been reported among laboratory-confirmed cases. Suspected cases have also been reported in Bunia, pending confirmation.
