AGP Executive Report
Last update: 2 hours agoEbola Surge in Eastern DRC: DR Congo’s Ebola outbreak has reached 1,033 deaths and 2,536 confirmed cases, with 46 of 47 health zones still reporting active transmission. Officials say some areas show a slight downward trend, but they warn it’s too early to declare the peak, as reporting delays can distort day-to-day numbers. Treatment Pressure: In North Kivu, 182 patients are in isolation despite 141 beds, underscoring how stretched care remains. Response Capacity & Data: The government says response operations are expanding, including 23 Ebola treatment centres, 19 operational labs, and nearly 800 beds. Separately, new geospatial data for Ituri aims to improve mapping of health zones, settlements, and facilities—key for reaching remote communities. Early Stabilisation Signals: A health official reports case notifications have entered a plateau in some areas, but community resistance, insecurity, and geography continue to slow containment. Regional Risk: WHO and partners continue to flag spillover risk, especially as cases spread beyond known chains and into displacement settings.
