Uganda Nears Declaring Itself Ebola-Free, Says AL24 News
The Ugandan Ministry of Health announced that the country is nearing an official declaration of the end of the Ebola outbreak. This follows the discharge of the last patient from the isolation center at Mulago National Hospital in Kampala, after 42 consecutive days without new cases, in accordance with World Health Organization guidelines. The Minister of Health explained that the case fatality rate has reached 10%, one of the lowest recorded rates. The outbreak was managed through early detection and immediate treatment, with Uganda registering a total of 20 cases and two deaths, most of which occurred near the border with the Democratic Republic of the Congo. The outbreak is expected to be officially declared over after an additional 21-day incubation period passes without any new cases.
