The number of confirmed Ebola cases in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) and Uganda has risen to 452 and 19, respectively, according to a daily epidemiological update released by the World Health Organization (WHO) on Saturday.
Confirmed deaths from the disease totaled 82 in the DRC and two in Uganda, the WHO data showed.
The WHO noted that the two African countries recorded 100 new confirmed cases and 20 deaths in the past 24 hours, indicating that sustained community transmission of the disease continues.
On Friday, the Africa Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (Africa CDC) and the WHO launched a continental Ebola outbreak preparedness and response plan, aiming to coordinate efforts to contain the outbreak.
Addressing a joint virtual press conference, heads of the Africa CDC and WHO said that the newly launched plan will serve as a coordinated framework to support affected states, strengthen preparedness and protect Africa's health security.
The plan aims to raise 518 million U.S. dollars to support African countries to prepare for, rapidly detect and respond to the outbreak for the period between June and November 2026.
