Uganda announces discharge of the last Ebola patient from hospital
The Ugandan Ministry of Health announced that the last Ebola patient has been discharged from the hospital, after 42 days without any new cases, meaning Uganda is officially declared free of the virus according to World Health Organization guidelines. Despite its open borders with outbreak regions in the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Uganda has recorded 20 cases and two deaths, mainly involving citizens who crossed the border. Successful isolation and monitoring efforts, along with the authorities' response to the outbreak—which is the fastest since Ebola first emerged—have contained the situation, even though there is no available vaccine or treatment at this time for the circulating strain.
