Last update: 8 hours ago

Ebola Update (DRC): Confirmed Ebola cases in the Democratic Republic of Congo have climbed to 2,423 with 967 deaths, as 734 patients remain in quarantine or treatment and a newly affected health zone (Adja, Ituri) brings totals to 47 zones with 46 still under active transmission. Cross-Border Health Security (Uganda/DRC): DRC and Uganda carried out a joint technical assessment of a mobile laboratory near the border to strengthen surveillance and response. Ebola Risk in Displacement Camps: The UN warns Ebola could spread in overcrowded eastern DRC camps, citing 270,000 displaced people across at least 16 sites and urging handwashing and prevention measures. Mental Health & Wellness: A feature promotes “green prescriptions,” encouraging people to use nature and outdoor time as a practical mental-health support. Road Safety & Child Health: A news analysis links Uganda’s recent school bus crash tragedy to renewed calls for faster rollout of smart enforcement to curb reckless driving. Health Systems & Training (EAC): The EAC plans to launch the Uganda Virus Research Institute as a regional virology center of excellence in Entebbe. Air Quality (Pollution): Dhaka ranked 7th globally for pollution, while Kampala topped the list—highlighting respiratory health risks from dirty air.
