AGP Executive Report

Last update: 10 hours ago

Ebola Update: DR Congo’s Ebola death toll has climbed to 600 as confirmed cases reach 1,759, with 750 patients in isolation or hospital and treatment capacity stretched (beds about 94% full), while response is hampered by community resistance to post-mortem sampling, supply gaps, insecurity, and weaker contact tracing. New Spread Signals: Reuters reports suspected Ebola cases in a new province, with authorities starting to strengthen surveillance and tracing in Kisangani as the outbreak expands. WHO Warning: WHO says the outbreak is still in an expansion phase and the “true scale” remains unclear, citing population movement, near-saturated treatment centers, and delays that leave many deaths occurring before patients reach care. Health Worker Strike Threat: Frontline workers in Ituri have threatened to strike over unpaid benefits, poor conditions, and shortages—raising fears for patient care, contact tracing, and clinical trial momentum. Clinical Trials & Tools: WHO-backed trials are enrolling patients for Bundibugyo Ebola, testing MBP134 and remdesivir with supportive care, while Europe has issued preparedness alerts after a case was detected in France. Regional Support: China is sending additional medical experts, and DRC health officials say cooperation is strengthening surveillance, lab work, infection control, and training.
