AGP Executive Report

Last update: 8 hours ago

Ebola Surge in Eastern DRC: WHO chief Tedros warned the outbreak is spreading faster than response efforts, with new cases doubling in some hotspots and confirmed totals nearing 4,000 cases and 1,800 deaths. Health Worker Strike: In Ituri, health workers protested unpaid wages, leaving some facilities abandoned and worsening access to care. River Boat Quarantine Near Kinshasa: Congo authorities intercepted a boat after a passenger died with Ebola-like symptoms, testing and isolating about 200–255 passengers and setting up a mobile lab near Kinshasa while awaiting results. Africa CDC on Containment Gaps: Africa CDC says contact tracing is not working well because many new cases are coming from community spread, pushing the response toward broader, faster action. Children Hit Hard: UNICEF reports 330 child deaths so far, with the outbreak disrupting immunization, maternal care, and other essential services. Virus Concerns: Officials also raised fears the Bundibugyo strain may be changing, complicating control efforts.
