The second shipment of 42,426.6 Kgs of medical countermeasures donated by the Government of India has arrived through Africa CDC’s continental logistics mechanism via the regional logistics hub in #Entebbe, Uganda.
This operation demonstrates the power of African-led coordination, regional solidarity, and strategic partnerships in rapidly delivering life-saving supplies where they are needed most.
With support from UNHAS/EUHAF, Uganda National Medical Stores, and the Ministry of Health of the DRC, critical medical countermeasures are being transported to support the ongoing Ebola Virus Disease (#Bundibugyo strain) response in #Ituri Province, the DRC. #HealthSecurity #AfricaResponds #EbolaResponse
Epidemics do not respect borders. Africa's response to health emergencies must be defined by Africa itself.
Read the latest Financial Times op-ed by Director General @dr_jeankaseya on why Africa's health security must be built on African leadership, African capacity, and African solutions.
As countries respond to #Ebola outbreaks in the DRC and Uganda, Africa CDC continues to support health authorities and protect communities.

Experts from Africa CDC are working alongside community health workers in #Ituri to strengthen the Ebola response in the Bunia, Rwampara, and Nyakunde health zones.
Through training and community engagement, teams are reinforcing early case detection, clinical management, and community surveillance, which is helping communities recognize symptoms early, seek care promptly, and reduce transmission.

Africa CDC collabore avec les agents de santé communautaires ( @minsanterdc) ) de l'Ituri afin de renforcer la lutte contre Ebola dans les zones sanitaires de Bunia, Rwampara et Nyakunde.
Grâce à des formations et à la mobilisation des communautés, les équipes améliorent la détection précoce des cas, la prise en charge clinique et la surveillance communautaire, ce qui aide les populations à reconnaître rapidement les symptômes, à se faire soigner sans tarder et à réduire la transmission.
