ECOWAS STRENGTHENS MEMBER STATES’ PREPAREDNESS AND RESPONSE TO EBOLA VIRUS DISEASE IN SENEGAL.

As part of its efforts to prevent the introduction and spread of Ebola Virus Disease (EVD) within the ECOWAS region, the ECOWAS Regional Centre for Surveillance and Disease Control (RCSDC) @Ecowas_cdc , in collaboration with the Institut Pasteur de Dakar (IPD) @PasteurDakar , ISED/UCAD, the Infectious Diseases Department of Fann Hospital in Dakar, the International Organization for Migration (IOM) @IOMROWCA , and Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF) @MSF_WestAfrica, is organizing a regional capacity-building workshop on preparedness and response for the 12 @ecowas_cedeao countries, taking place in Dakar from 23 to 26 June 2026.

The main objective of this four-day workshop is to share knowledge and strengthen the skills of health professionals from ECOWAS Member States so they can better detect, isolate, and effectively manage EVD cases, while implementing robust Infection Prevention and Control (IPC) measures. A field simulation exercise is planned to test operational arrangements and consolidate learning.

At the opening of the workshop, the Executive Director of @Ecowas_cdc recalled that Ebola Virus Disease (EVD) remains a major threat, emphasizing that vigilance is still required given the recent epidemiological context in Central Africa. Although the risk for West Africa is assessed as moderate, the Executive Director stressed the region’s potential vulnerability due to cross-border movements, trade flows, and the high density of transport corridors. He also recalled the lessons from the 2014–2016 epidemic, noting that “preparedness costs less than response, and anticipation saves lives.”

The Executive Director further announced that it will continue supporting Member States, including—starting next week—a meeting of laboratory managers in collaboration with IPD, featuring the provision of diagnostic tests, followed by activities dedicated to the regional network for risk communication and community engagement.

@Ecowas_cdc welcomes the strong partnership dynamics that made this workshop possible and reaffirms its commitment to supporting regional coordination, information sharing, and resource mobilization so that each country is better prepared to face Ebola Virus Disease.

As part of prevention and preparedness efforts in response to the ongoing Ebola virus disease outbreak in Central Africa (DRC and Uganda), all @ecowas_cedeao Member States have strengthened public health measures to minimize the risk of the virus being introduced and spreading within the region.

To date, no suspected, probable, or confirmed case has been reported in the @ecowas_cedeao region.

Health authorities nevertheless remain on heightened alert: strengthened epidemiological surveillance, screening and referral measures at points of entry (airports, seaports, and land borders), preparedness of diagnostic and case-management capacities, and ongoing community and health worker awareness-raising.

@Ecowas_cdc, in close coordination with @ecowas_cedeao health authorities, continues to strengthen preparedness and prevention measures to avert any Ebola outbreak in the region.

@Ecowas_cdc urges the public to remain calm, rely only on official sources of information, and follow the recommendations of health services. Anyone experiencing persistent fever or unusual symptoms, especially after travel to an affected area, is requested to contact health services immediately.

Committed and fully dedicated, she consistently demonstrated a strong sense of responsibility and outstanding professionalism. Generous with her time and always available, she helped others without hesitation, with attentive listening and a genuine spirit of service. Kind, respectful, and caring, she knew how to build an atmosphere of trust and cooperation. Her skills, rigor, and remarkable human qualities will remain in our memories for a long time.

On behalf of the entire @Ecowas_cdc, we extend our sincere condolences to her family, loved ones, and all those who cared for her. We share your sorrow during this difficult time and want to assure you of our full support. May her memory, her life’s work, and all the good she brought to others provide some comfort. May she rest in peace.
