Current Ebola update as of 5 June 2026

Four patients have successfully recovered and been discharged.

The 3 new cases were contacts to confirmed cases who have been in institutional quarantine by the Ministry of Health.

Unfortunately, one person, a Congolese national passed on. May her soul rest in eternal peace.

The country remains safe and open for all.

"Young girls are CHILDREN, not wives.
Not property. Not ready for marriage.
When will we stop robbing them of their childhood?
Enough is enough.
#EndChildMarriage #GirlsAreChildren"

[Extend A Life initiative Uganda @extend_uganda]

"Child marriage is an appalling violation of human rights and robs girls of their education, health and long term prospects. A girl who is married as a child is one whose potential will not be fulfilled."

Ending child marriage isn't optional it's a human rights demand
Let girls be children, not brides.
