Part of situation: DRC Ebola outbreak expands and impacts healthcare workers (426 clusters)

Ebola outbreak ends in Uganda while cases rise in DRC

Ebola outbreak Bundibugyo virus Democratic Republic of the Congo Uganda public health emergency

The World Health Organization (WHO) and Africa CDC have officially declared the end of the Ebola outbreak in Uganda. The declaration follows a 42-day period without new confirmed cases, marking the conclusion of an outbreak involving 20 infections and two deaths.

In contrast, the Ebola situation in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) remains critical. The outbreak, caused by the Bundibugyo strain, is described as the second deadliest in the country's history and is spreading rapidly across six provinces. As of late August 2026, the DRC has recorded over 5,600 confirmed cases and more than 2,700 deaths, maintaining a lethality rate of approximately 48%.

Health authorities in the DRC face significant challenges, including insufficient contact tracing, a lack of treatment centers in certain areas, and insecurity. While the Ervebo vaccine is being deployed under a compassionate-use program to protect frontline workers, there is currently no licensed vaccine or specific treatment for the Bundibugyo variant. The WHO has called for $30 million in immediate funding to support logistical operations and provide essential medical equipment to the most affected regions.
