Emergency Response Update - Ebola Cases Rise

By Zachery Onyango | Project Leader

Emergency Response Update – Ebola Cases Rise in Uganda

We are responding urgently to a growing Ebola outbreak in Uganda, where confirmed cases have risen to seven, including frontline health workers in Kampala. This development underscores the heightened risk faced by those on the frontlines and the urgency of scaling up containment efforts.

Our teams are working alongside local health authorities and guidance from the World Health Organization to strengthen rapid response systems. Key interventions currently underway include:

  • Supporting contact tracing teams to identify and monitor exposed individuals
  • Providing personal protective equipment (PPE) to healthcare workers
  • Strengthening isolation and treatment capacity in designated health units

The situation remains fluid, but early intervention is critical to preventing wider community transmission. Your continued support allows us to act quickly and effectively during this critical window.

We will keep you updated as the response evolves. Thank you for standing with Uganda at this crucial time.
