AGP Executive Report

Last update: 2 hours ago

Ebola Response (DRC): The DRC is using anonymised mobile phone data to forecast where Ebola could spread next, helping health teams map population movement between towns and pre-position support as the outbreak grows across seven provinces. WHO Warning: WHO says the Ebola outbreak is still uncontrolled, with Ituri and Haut-Uele seeing declines while North Kivu surged by 73% over the same period; community deaths remain a major driver of transmission. Cross-Border Surveillance: IOM is expanding screening beyond DRC borders, including health checks at Kinshasa’s Bende-Bende port and coordination with neighboring countries to reduce cross-border spread. Vaccination Update: Ebola vaccination has been expanded in Ituri, with MSF launching the BRAVO study in Bunia to vaccinate about 20,000 frontline workers and track whether Ervebo helps against the Bundibugyo strain. Child Health (Ebola): WHO highlights that children under five face the highest Ebola fatality rates (over 60%) and make up many deaths outside treatment centers, pointing to urgent needs for pediatric-ready supplies and training. Malaria (Remote Care): The national malaria program presented alternative options for severe malaria treatment in children aged 6–59 months in remote areas, citing the DRC’s heavy malaria burden. Mpox Diagnostics: A study in The Lancet Infectious Diseases suggests nearly 35% of mpox PCR positives in several Congolese cities may be false positives linked to sample contamination, raising stakes for safer, more reliable testing.
