AGP Executive Report

Last update: 8 hours ago

Ebola Update (DR Congo): The Democratic Republic of the Congo’s Ebola outbreak has surged past 3,200 confirmed cases and 1,405 deaths, with Ituri province near the South Sudan and Uganda borders carrying about 90% of infections; health teams report sustained transmission, while treatment centres face heavy pressure and some staff strikes over unpaid wages disrupt care. Vaccine & Trials: UK regulators have approved a first human trial for a Bundibugyo strain vaccine, and Oxford University has begun vaccinating volunteers, as no approved treatment exists for this rare strain. South Sudan Risk & Border Health: South Sudan remains at risk due to cross-border movement; Central Equatoria’s health minister warned that overcrowded displacement sites after border conflict can quickly raise disease outbreak risks, urging urgent partner support. Public Health Communication: WHO and UNICEF-backed media training in Juba urged journalists to consult health authorities and report Ebola accurately, stressing it spreads through contact and is not always “bleeding” at the start. Civil Registration Reform: South Sudan plans a nationwide digital civil registry to centralize birth, death, marriage and divorce registration, with hospitals notifying the civil registry directorate to issue official birth certificates. Climate & Food Security: The AfDB warns a “super” El Niño could cost Africa $10bn–$20bn, worsen food and water shortages, and drive mass migration—conditions that can amplify health emergencies.
