Regional Spillover Pressure: Neighboring countries are tightening monitoring too, from the Bahamas isolating two travelers to Switzerland announcing emergency funding for DRC response. Healthcare System Push: In Addis Ababa, PM Abiy inaugurated Lafto Hospital, calling for a cultural shift toward patient-centered care and better balance between prevention and treatment.
