WHO announces Uganda Ebola outbreak over

The World Health Organization announced that the Ebola outbreak in Uganda has ended.

26 Aug, 23:46 — 26 Aug, 23:51

Why this matters

This marks the end of a significant public health emergency in Uganda, but the mention of rising cases in DR Congo underscores the persistent threat of Ebola in the region. The outbreak's containment demonstrates effective response measures, yet cross-border transmission remains a concern.
