[Ministry of Health- Uganda @MinofHealthUG]

Today, #Uganda has discharged the last #Ebola patient, a Congolese national who has successfully recovered and ready to be with his family.

We now begin the 42-day countdown required before Uganda can officially declare the outbreak over, in line with international guidelines.

While we celebrate this achievement, we urge everyone to remain vigilant. If you develop symptoms such as fever, vomiting, diarrhoea or unexplained bleeding, seek immediate medical care. Early treatment saves lives.

The Ministry appreciates health workers, communities, partners and all Ugandans for standing together to protect our nation.

The discharge was officiated by the Minister for Health, Hon. @CHRISBARYOMUNS1, Director General Health Services, Prof. @olaro_charles, Under Secretary, Mr. Kenneth Akiiri, @WHOUganda, @UNICEFUganda, @AfricaCDC and Ministry of Health senior officials at the Mulago National Isolation Unit.

Infections of the Bundibugyo species of Ebola in the DR Congo have reached record highs and a majority of new cases are coming from “unknown chains of transmission”, @WHO warns.

[Ministry of Health- Uganda @MinofHealthUG]

The Ministry of Health, with support from @WHOUganda, is convening an Ebola Accountability Forum to share financial and accountability updates, promote transparency, and strengthen trust among stakeholders.

Director General Health Services, Prof. @olaro_charles said the forum will also provide an update on the current Ebola situation in Uganda and align partner resources with the Ministry of Health's response priorities.

While opening the forum, the Minister of Health, Hon. @CHRISBARYOMUNS1, thanked all partners for their invaluable support in bringing the Ebola outbreak in Uganda under control. He called for continued collaboration as Uganda supports the DRC in ending the epidemic.

Permanent Secretary Dr. @DianaAtwine expressed appreciation for the technical and financial support provided by partners. She also thanked countries that did not impose travel restrictions, including the UK, the EU, and several countries in the Middle East, saying:
"You believed in us and believed in our capacity. This speaks volumes about the true partnerships we have with you."

Global childhood vaccination rates rose slightly in 2025, yet millions of children remained unprotected against preventable diseases as conflict, funding cuts and growing outbreaks undermined immunization efforts. https://t.co/IHuJPW1M5D https://t.co/IHuJPW1M5D

Had a meaningful meeting with the Kween community on the anthrax outbreak. I commend the community’s resilience and the health authorities' swift response. Timely reporting is key—quick alerts from the community enable our rapid response. #Kween #AnthraxPrevention @kofihuganda
