WHO Praises Uganda's Ebola Response, Stresses Continued Vigilance

The World Health Organization has commended Uganda for its strong efforts in responding to an Ebola outbreak originating from the Democratic Republic of the Congo. Despite challenges like insecurity, Uganda has managed to contain the spread, reporting 19 confirmed and one probable case linked to cross-border transmission. The WHO underscored the importance of ongoing vigilance and collaboration between Uganda and the DRC to control the outbreak, especially as no approved vaccine exists for this specific Ebola species.
