Emergency Ebola Response in Uganda

The fight against Ebola depends heavily on the safety of frontline health workers. Thanks to your generosity, we have continued supplying essential personal protective equipment (PPE) to health facilities and response teams serving vulnerable communities.

During this reporting period, healthcare workers received protective gloves, face masks, sanitizers, protective gowns, and disinfectants. These supplies are helping reduce the risk of infection among medical personnel who work tirelessly to identify, isolate, and manage suspected Ebola cases.

Many health facilities face shortages of protective equipment during outbreaks. Your support is helping bridge these gaps and ensuring that health workers can perform their duties with greater confidence and safety. Community health volunteers have also received protective materials to support outreach activities and household visits.

Healthcare workers have expressed gratitude for the timely assistance, noting that adequate protection improves their ability to respond effectively while safeguarding themselves and their families. The equipment is contributing to stronger infection prevention practices within health facilities and communities alike.

As the Ebola threat continues, maintaining a steady supply of PPE remains essential. Your contribution is directly protecting those who stand on the frontlines every day to save lives and contain the outbreak.

Thank you for helping us strengthen Uganda’s emergency response capacity. Together, we are protecting health workers and supporting communities at risk.
