🇪🇺🇺🇬#EuropeDay 2026 in Kampala was more than a celebration, it was a tribute to 50 years of partnership between Uganda & the European Union.

From impactful speeches & meaningful connections, to fireworks over Kololo & an unforgettable performance by @AzawiOfficial #EUandUganda50

[Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus @DrTedros]

I am in #Uganda, where the government has mounted a prompt and capable response to the outbreak of #Ebola.

Screening at the borders helped detect cases arriving from neighbouring #DRC, and the country’s surveillance, testing and case management systems are doing steady work. Of the 19 confirmed cases so far, 14 were among people who entered from DRC and five are Ugandan nationals. Sadly, two people from DRC have died, and our thoughts are with their families.

@WHO is supporting Uganda, alongside @AfricaCDC and partners across the region, as the country leads this response.

With continued collaboration, I am confident this outbreak can be brought under control.

[Daily Monitor @DailyMonitor]

World Health Organization (@WHO ) Director-General @DrTedros has praised Uganda's “prompt and capable” response to an ongoing Ebola outbreak, expressing confidence that the situation can be brought under control through continued regional collaboration.

[European External Action Service - EEAS 🇪🇺 @eu_eeas]

Today, threats can travel faster than armies.

Cyberattacks, disinformation campaigns and disruptions to energy supplies can impact everyday life across Europe.

As threats evolve, so must our response.

Thank you @Chikwe_I.

It meant a lot to be present, to show solidarity and to meet the health workers and partners on the ground.

The EU will continue to stand with those affected by Ebola and with all those working tirelessly to protect lives.

[Hadja Lahbib @hadjalahbib]

Today @CY2026EU brought 🇪🇺 Health Ministers together to discuss the Ebola outbreak in DRC & Uganda.

The effective way to contain Ebola is through early detection, rapid isolation & support for health teams on the ground. We remain engaged, in solidarity with affected communities

[EU Humanitarian Aid | Central East Southern Africa @ECHO_CESAfrica]

"This is a pure lifesaving operation."

At Nairobi airport, Olivier Rousselle, head of the EU's regional humanitarian office for East Africa, spoke to @Reuters as medical supplies were loaded for DR Congo, where health workers are racing to contain an Ebola outbreak. The EU is supporting frontline responders with protective equipment, medicines & emergency supplies. ✈️📦

The planet doesn’t negotiate. It sends signals: rising seas, wildfires, heatwaves.

The EU responds with commitments like:

🔸Water Resilience Strategy

[European External Action Service - EEAS 🇪🇺 @eu_eeas]

The HR/VP @kajakallas met with African Ambassadors to the EU to mark #AfricaDay and follow up on the Luanda Summit. Constructive exchanges on EU-Africa relations, recent geopolitical developments, and opportunities for cooperation.

We share a deep commitment to reinforcing our partnership across all key files: from strengthening security to championing multilateralism. Stronger together #EUAU

[Enabel in Uganda @EnabelinUganda]

Africa’s next breakthrough in health innovation could already be sitting in a research lab today.

During a recent visit to @Makerere University, we observed how the #TeamEurope Initiative MAV+ supports access to safe, effective and affordable health products through strengthened research collaboration.

From February to May 2026, seven African researchers are taking part in a fellowship programme combining mentorship, laboratory shadowing and specialised training across African and European universities.

At the @IDIMakerere, led by Prof. Damalie Nakanjako, Makerere is hosting fellows from Ghana, Malawi and Nigeria, while two Makerere researchers are also undertaking placements abroad.

A strong reminder that collaboration, science and investment in African talent remain critical to transforming research into health solutions and building resilient health systems.
