🔎 Los epidemiólogos de campo son los “detectives de enfermedades” del mundo, responsables de investigar las señales de salud pública para confirmar los brotes e identificar casos, contactos y factores de riesgo de enfermedad. 🦠🕵️‍♀️

En una fábrica de Toyota, un trabajador detecta un defecto en una pieza. No intenta ocultarlo.

Tira de una cuerda.

Y la línea de producción comienza a detenerse.

Supervisor: «¿Qué ha pasado?»
Trabajador: «Hay un problema con esta pieza.»
Supervisor: «¿Estás seguro?»
Trabajador: «Sí.»

La producción se ha parado. ↓

[World Health Organization (WHO) @WHO]

WHO Rapid Risk Assessment on #Ebola caused by Bundibugyo virus in the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Uganda:

The risk assessment has been revised:
🔴 Very high at the national level in #DRC
🟠 High for #Uganda
🟠 High for countries sharing land borders with DRC and Uganda
🔵 Low for the rest of the Africa region and at the global level

The risk in DRC remains very high, because:
⚠️ The outbreak has continued to expand rapidly in terms of numbers of cases and geographical spread with more areas affected
⚠️ Epidemiological links and the full chain of transmission are not yet clearly established, and the source of the outbreak remains under investigation
⚠️ Ongoing conflict restricts movement of frontline responders and surveillance teams
⚠️ Community fear and misinformation hinder case detection, contact tracing, and isolation, and potentially facilitate disease spread
⚠️ Limited healthcare infrastructure and delays in laboratory confirmation, although these are being scaled up by DRC, with support of partners

WHO continues to support DRC to put an end to this outbreak https://t.co/hb3BcB531k

Cheers, chills, and a standing ovation when RASolute 302 showed unprecedented survival on daraxonrasib for patients with progressive pancreatic cancer

Seldom do you sense you’re witnessing a historic moment in cancer care but this feels like ras targeting has arrived

#Ebola #Uganda Tres nuevos casos confirmados. Dos contactos del primer caso importado y un caso importado. Total: 5 casos Reportados por Uganda a 23-05-2026.

[Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus @DrTedros]

#Uganda has today reported three new confirmed cases of #Ebola in the country, including a Ugandan health worker, a driver and a Congolese national who travelled from Ituri Province, in the neighbouring #DRC, for medical care.

This brings the total number of people in Uganda who have been tested positive for Ebola Disease caused by the Bundibugyo virus to five.

I acknowledge @MinofHealthUG for their efforts to detect, monitor and care for people suspected of and confirmed for contracting the Ebola virus.

At this critical moment in the outbreak response, it is vital that authorities maintain high vigilance to control expansion of the virus.

@WHO is working side by side with @AfricaCDC, and partners in the DRC and Uganda, to contain the outbreak, support affected people, and bolster a coordinated response.

#Ebola
Enfermedad por el virus de Bundibugyo en RDC y Uganda. A la fecha se han confirmado 82 casos incluidos 7 fallecimientos.

[Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus @DrTedros]

The #Ebola situation in the #DRC is deeply worrisome. So far, 82 cases have been confirmed, with seven confirmed deaths. But we know the epidemic in the DRC is much larger. There are now almost 750 suspected cases and 177 suspected deaths.

The situation in #Uganda is currently stable, with two confirmed cases, and one death reported. There have been no new cases or deaths reported.

An American national who was working in DRC has also been confirmed positive, and transferred to Germany for care. We are aware of the reports today about another American national who is a high-risk contact who has been transferred to the Czech Republic.

These numbers are changing as surveillance efforts and laboratory testing is improving, but violence and insecurity are impeding the response.

Additional @WHO personnel have deployed to Ituri, the epicentre of the DRC outbreak, to support affected communities.

I am in regular contact with the government officials of the affected countries to coordinate response actions.

I have just convened a Member States briefing to update them on the ongoing response.
