$518M Plan to Tackle Ebola in Congo
The World Health Organization, in collaboration with the African Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, has launched an emergency plan worth $518 million to contain the Ebola outbreak in the Democratic Republic of the Congo and support neighboring countries. Its measures include strengthening health surveillance, expanding prevention efforts, and improving medical services, especially in Ituri Province, which is the primary epicenter. Since the outbreak was announced in May, the country has recorded 381 cases and 64 deaths, while the epidemic has also spread to neighboring Uganda. To date, there is no approved vaccine or treatment for the "Bundibugyo" strain, and efforts are focused on rapid containment and prevention.
