This weekend the first cross-border surveillance meeting was held between #Ebola rapid response teams in Aru in #DRC 🇨🇩 and Arua in #Uganda 🇺🇬.

The discussion was convened and moderated by @WHO, with participation from @AFENETAfrica. The teams designed a strategy to share Ebola case investigation findings, alerts and information on contacts of cases that will strengthen cross-border surveillance and inform joint response actions across the neighbouring countries.

During a visit to the national Ebola Treatment Unit, based at the Mulago National Referral Hospital in Kampala 🇺🇬, @DrTedros, @WHO Director-General, recognized the critical work of health workers. He highlighted the humanity of their work, ensuring that patients are treated with dignity. He emphasized that recovery includes support beyond discharge, without stigma.

Even in the absence of widely available, proven vaccines for Bundibugyo ebolavirus, lives can be saved through early diagnosis, close monitoring and high-quality supportive care.

[UN in Uganda @UNinUganda]

As Uganda continues to respond to the Ebola outbreak, @DrTedros, Director-General of @WHO, engaged with the UN Country Team in Uganda to strengthen coordination and reinforce collective preparedness and response efforts.
