@AfricaCDC @Starlink This is excellent display of partnerships in Epidemic response 👏

[Dr Jean Kaseya @Dr_JeanKaseya]

Outbreaks move quickly. Financing must move quickly too.

I welcome the @Pandemic_Fund Board’s decision to mobilize up to US$220.6 million in emergency financing for the Ebola response in Central and Eastern Africa.

This is timely and strategic support that will help countries contain transmission, protect communities and strengthen the systems needed to prevent, detect and respond to future health threats.

Thank you to the Pandemic Fund for moving with urgency.

Les épidémies évoluent rapidement. Le financement doit également évoluer rapidement.

Je salue la décision du Conseil du Pandemic Fund de mobiliser jusqu’à 220,6 millions de dollars américains en financement d’urgence pour la riposte à Ebola en Afrique centrale et orientale.

Il s’agit d’un appui opportun et stratégique qui aidera les pays à contenir la transmission, à protéger les communautés et à renforcer les systèmes nécessaires pour prévenir, détecter et répondre aux futures menaces sanitaires.

Merci au Pandemic Fund pour sa réactivité et son sens de l’urgence.

Current Ebola update as of 4 June 2026.

It’s important to note that all the cases under treatment are progressing and recovering well.

The new case is a Congolese national, an imported case.

The country remains safe and open for business, leisure and trade.

Face à l’épidémie d’Ebola, chaque jour compte.

Je reviens de Corée du Sud où j’ai rencontré KH Medical, actuellement le seul fabricant au monde de diagnostics capables de détecter l’ensemble des souches des virus Ebola et Marburg.

Je suis heureux d’annoncer qu’un accord a été conclu pour sécuriser 100 % de leur capacité de production disponible, ce qui permettra de doubler le nombre de machines déployées d’ici fin juin 2026. Nous avons également convenu de lancer la fabrication de ces diagnostics essentiels en Afrique.

Comme je l’ai écrit cette semaine @FT, cette riposte est menée par l’Afrique, pour l’Afrique, avec le soutien de partenaires de confiance tels que KH Medical.

J’en appelle à la solidarité internationale. Les épidémies se combattent par la coopération, l’investissement et l’action collective.

Epidemics do not respect borders. Africa's response to health emergencies must be defined by Africa itself.

Read the latest Financial Times op-ed by Director General @Dr_JeanKaseya on why Africa's health security must be built on African leadership, African capacity, and African solutions.

As countries respond to #Ebola outbreaks in the DRC and Uganda, Africa CDC continues to support health authorities and protect communities.

As UG appears to record more new cases of BDBV disease, I would like to talk about the ‘bubble’ created around these cases. These new cases are among contacts, already in quarantine and now moved into isolation for treatment; and carry no risk to the community.

#BusinessasUsual

[SSEKIDDE GIDEON @GideonSsekidde]

Know how Ebola spreads: direct contact with bodily fluids of an infected person or contaminated materials.

Stay protected. Wash hands regularly, avoid contact with suspected cases, and report symptoms immediately.

Your action saves lives.

[The New Vision @newvisionwire]

The WHO on Tuesday dramatically scaled back the number of suspected Ebola cases in central Africa to 116, down from more than 900 previously, with 330 cases now confirmed.

A strong outbreak response depends on getting the right supplies to the right place at the right time.

More than 42,426 kg of critical medical countermeasures donated by the Government of India have arrived to support the Ebola Virus Disease response in Ituri Province, DRC.

Delivered through @AfricaCDC's regional logistics network and hub in Entebbe, Uganda, this second shipment reflects the power of regional coordination and global solidarity in protecting lives.

I thank the Government of India and all our partners for making this delivery possible and strengthening Africa's collective health security.

Une riposte efficace face à une épidémie repose sur la capacité à acheminer les fournitures adéquates au bon endroit et au bon moment.

Plus de 42,426 kg de contre-mesures médicales essentielles, offerts par le gouvernement indien, sont arrivés pour soutenir la lutte contre la maladie à virus Ebola dans la province d’Ituri, en RDC.

Livrée via le réseau logistique régional et la plateforme d’Africa CDC à Entebbe, en Ouganda, cette deuxième cargaison témoigne de la puissance de la coordination régionale et de la solidarité mondiale pour protéger des vies.

Je remercie le gouvernement indien et tous nos partenaires d'avoir rendu cette livraison possible et d'avoir renforcé la sécurité sanitaire collective de l'Afrique.

Great and tragic news at once.
Emmanuel, the 5-year old featured in this report, has since recovered and left the Ebola ward, his father told me.
But the lab technician I met in the next ward deteriorated and died last night. His name was Bienfaits.
