AGP Executive Report

Last update: 26 minutes ago

Ebola Surge: DR Congo’s Ebola outbreak hit 600 deaths and 1,759 confirmed cases, with new suspected infections reported in provinces previously thought unaffected, including Tshopo (Kisangani) and Haut-Uele—showing the virus is still spreading beyond Ituri. WHO Warning: The WHO says the outbreak remains in an “expansion phase,” with the true scale still unclear, transmission fueled by population movement, and treatment centers under heavy strain. Response Under Pressure: Health minister Roger Kamba said the outbreak is “very active” and the peak is not yet in sight, while officials warn that delays in detecting and referring patients are driving community deaths. Frontline Strain: Health workers have threatened strike action over unpaid benefits, poor working conditions, and shortages—raising fears for safe burials, contact tracing, and ongoing clinical trials. New Trial Efforts: Clinical trials for Bundibugyo treatments are underway, but there is still no approved vaccine or treatment for this strain, leaving communities highly vulnerable.
