AGP Executive Report

Last update: 6 hours ago

Ebola Update (Uganda-DRC): WHO chief Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus visited Uganda and praised the country’s “prompt and capable” Ebola response, citing border screening, surveillance, testing and case management, while urging Uganda to reconsider Congo border closures because blanket travel restrictions “don’t really help” and harm the economy. Outbreak Scale: WHO reports Ebola cases have topped 500 in the DRC (with confirmed deaths rising), while Uganda has recorded 19 confirmed cases and two deaths, with suspected cases under monitoring. Travel & Tourism Impact: WHO says travel restrictions imposed on Uganda are unnecessary and counterproductive, a key concern for travellers and the tourism sector as regional advisories tighten. Global Support: Dubai delivered 20 tonnes of medical aid to boost Ebola response in the DRC, including PPE, disinfectants and tents, to support hundreds of patients and frontline health centres. Local Life & Safety: WHO also pointed to Uganda’s decision to cancel Martyrs Day crowds as a wise move to reduce fast-spreading risk.
