AGP Executive Report
Last update: 6 hours agoEbola: WHO says the outbreak remains deeply concerning, with 400–500 new cases reported weekly and no clear decline in transmission. As of Nov. 10, health authorities reported 11,114 confirmed cases and 5,433 deaths across eight provinces. Violence is disrupting response efforts: WHO has verified 81 attacks on healthcare since May. Cholera: More than 60,000 cases and 1,800 deaths have been recorded this year, with North and South Kivu hardest hit. Cases along the Congo River basin are raising fears of spread to Kinshasa, as insecurity, poor access to clean water and the rainy season complicate prevention. Sickle Cell Research: A Kinshasa study used smartphone photos of children and teens to identify facial features associated with sickle cell disease. Researchers say the findings could inform future screening research; the study does not establish a diagnostic tool. Medical Access: A new aircraft is being prepared to carry medical staff and supplies to remote communities, including hospital deliveries, vaccine transport and Ebola response support.
