AGP Executive Report

Last update: 7 hours ago

Ebola Update (Uganda): WHO and Africa CDC have declared Uganda Ebola-free after 42 days without a new confirmed case, following the discharge of the last imported patient on 16 July; officials say travel restrictions should be lifted, while the regional risk remains tied to the ongoing outbreak in eastern DR Congo. Ebola Update (DR Congo): Congo’s outbreak is still accelerating, reaching 60 health zones after spreading to two new zones in North Kivu; cases now stand at 5,794 with 2,786 deaths, amid insecurity, displacement and health worker strikes. Vaccines & Testing: DR Congo has started vaccinating front-line workers with Ervebo while trials continue for Bundibugyo-specific options; meanwhile, EU4Health/HaDEA signed new contracts to boost RT-PCR testing kits and diagnostics for Bundibugyo detection. Public Health (Infant Nutrition): Nutritionists in Masaka warn mothers against feeding babies under six months with foods like cassava porridge, stressing breast milk as the recommended option to curb malnutrition. Community Health (Water & Sanitation): Reports from Busoga highlight unsafe, shared water sources and open defecation pressures that raise the risk of waterborne diseases. Health & Society: Uganda’s Tooro King Oyo Nyimba Kabamba Iguru Rukidi IV died at 34, prompting renewed public attention to health secrecy and access to care abroad.
