One month after Ebola cases were confirmed in eastern Congo, its true scale remains unknown, with major data gaps muddying the picture and persistent, sometimes violent, community resistance hampering the response, health workers and officials say. https://t.co/4KXwHcAPtb

[Health Policy Watch @HealthPolicyW]

The current #Ebola outbreak involves the Bundibugyo strain: less fatal than Zaire Ebola, but no approved vaccine.

@JeanMuyembe says hospital care, contact tracing, & community trust remain essential.

🚨 Funding cuts are threatening decades of progress against HIV.

@UNAIDS warns that prevention programmes, testing services and community-led organisations are being hit hard, even as countries try to protect treatment access.

Repeated global health emergencies have exposed the fact that, as an international community, we do not yet have an effective and sustainable model to build resilience in the face of global health threats. In my latest op-ed I highlight the urgent need for coordinated, sustainable global health reform, and why the European Commission’s adoption of the Global Health Resilience Initiative is an important milestone towards building global health resilience: https://t.co/izPnoP6Q80 @EU_Commission #TeamEurope

We commend President @KagutaMuseveni for his steadfast leadership in strengthening Uganda's Ebola response. 10 days with no new cases is encouraging, but we must stay vigilant, follow health guidelines, and keep protecting our communities 🙏🙏.

There are many challenges in the #Ebola Bundibugyo outbreak in #DRC, but as the response gets a toehold, under the government’s leadership, there are positives: communities are working together, new laboratories are open, and some patients have recovered and have been discharged.

WHO Executive Director for the Health Emergencies Programme @Chikwe_I who has been in the country for 3 weeks, is hopeful that together we can get the outbreak under control

Now, the Ebola outbreak risks pushing the most vulnerable communities deeper into hunger.
