AGP Executive Report

Last update: 11 hours ago

Ebola Alert: The Bundibugyo outbreak in the DRC has surpassed 10,000 cases and 5,000 deaths, with no approved vaccine or treatment. A patient reportedly travelled through Kampala and Entebbe before diagnosis, highlighting the need for strong regional surveillance. Ugandan Diagnostics: A Shs3.8 billion AI-powered X-ray project aims to expand TB screening in private facilities, while government plans to upgrade regional referral hospitals. Medicine Safety: A suspected medication mix-up in Butebo left one child dead and about 20 people hospitalised, prompting pharmacists to call for stronger safeguards. Local Production: Uganda has exported its first locally made HIV self-test kits to Kenya, advancing domestic production and access to testing.
