How can Uganda and DR Congo work together to improve health responses during crises like Ebola?

Healthcare
Uganda
开始于 September 04, 2026

The declaration on July 28, 2026, that the Bundibugyo virus outbreak in Uganda had ended marks a crucial milestone in outbreak control.1 WHO considers an Ebola outbreak resolved 42 consecutive days after the second negative PCR test result of the last patient, or their safe burial.2 Although this threshold effectively captures the interruption of transmission, it remains strictly epidemiological. In reality, the true end of an epidemic is not a singular event but a complex clinical, health system, and social transition that extends far beyond the final detected case
